Super helpful! Never thought about assigning values to a single record variable and then adding that to a record collection variable. I was needing to map fields from object A to object B inside a loop to create new object B records and that was the secret trick to creating the records outside the loop.

You're such a great trainer, your explanations are super super helpful. I've finally stopped running away from loops and variables 😆and just re-created one of my complicated flows. So happy!

This really helped me building a flow to create multiple line items from one object to another (through a conversion). Thanks a lot! :)

A fantastic way of explaining. I found it very useful.

Thank you, that was exactly what I needed! After I saw it, it made so much sense.

Very nice. Clear. Concise. At the 4:10 mark, you have the 'edit Assignment' screen, you show a variable 'record_newTask>Subj...and it's a text type (or so it appears). At 4:22 mark, you show Edit Assignment-Add to Collection. There I see the a record type. How is that?

UGH! I hate flows so much! So much more logical to write this in code.
