How to repeat steps multiple times and store the result...

At a glance

The community member is creating a flow that asks for information from a borrower and a co-borrower, and the questions are the same for both. The current approach of duplicating and updating each step is tedious, as each variable is different and needs to be updated for each step. The community members suggest two solutions:

1. A solution using a feature from https://github.com/baptisteArno/typebot.io/issues/249.

2. An alternative solution where the community member stores the current defined variables under a namespace variable, jumps back to the start of the flow, and uses a different namespace for the co-borrower.

I'm creating a flow asking about information to a borrower and a co-borrower.
The questions are the same for both. The way around this today is duplicating and updating each step two or three times based on the number of borrowers, which is quite tedious since each variable is different and needs to be updated for each step.

Any ideas? Thanks!

The result would look something like this

Plain Text

{
  "borrower.name": "John Doe",
  "borrower.email": "borrower@example.com",
  "borrower.phone": "1234567890",
  "coBorrower.name": "Jane Doe",
  "coBorrower.email": "coborrower@example.com",
  "coBorrower.phone": "1234567890"
}

This will be solvable with: https://github.com/baptisteArno/typebot.io/issues/249

Amazing, thanks!

An alternative but more creative solution if we had access to a list of defined variables mid-typebot in the script block:

Once the flow is completed, store current defined variables under a namespace variable, for example: name -> borrower.name
Jump back to the start of the flow
Once you reach the end of the flow, you are back at step 1, use a different namespace, for example coBorrower.name
Do this as many times as needed
