Create an array that is always available
Hi ! New guy to low/no-code tools.
This is probably a dumb question, but is there a way to create an array and store data inside ?
Context is, I want to generate text from openAI in a loop, and store outputs in an array that I can use outside of that loop. But there doesnt seem to be any node where I can simply do that, and I'd like to avoid editing the openAI node to nest everything in a while loop (to learn the proper buildship way)

It seems that there aren't any specific pre-built nodes in BuildShip for creating an array to store data directly within a loop. This functionality might not be directly supported as a simple node operation.
However, a common approach to achieve this in low/no-code platforms is to use a sequence of nodes that accumulate data step by step. You could potentially simulate an array by using a combination of nodes that append data to a collection or list structure within the workflow, and then utilize this collection outside of the loop.
If there's a particular node or feature you're looking for that's not available, think about using a combination of nodes to achieve the desired logic. Alternatively, you can reach out to BuildShip's support through their in-app support for more assistance on specific use cases.

Hi @luma, no question is dumb when learning 🙂. If you're looking to persist an array then you might consider saving it to a database. The easiest way to do this is to use the BuildShip database, every project comes with one.
Here's a remix link to show an example
