Hi, i want keep setup parameter objects on array via Apply ui button.  
Setup parameter will update to connection\_para flow context as object.  
Once finished setup, click ui Apply button save parameter object to store\_conn flow context.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/a/1/a1b6b53f0bd3ff66c07eae5fc221ed2daab7e782.png)

The issue is, i do not know why previous objects in store\_conn all are updated to latest entry setup parameter before click Apply button.

Can anyone help me up. Thank you

Welcome to the forum @zyx09

Have a look at the ui\_form widget. That provides input fields of various types and a Submit button. The data for all fields is sent when Submit is clicked which should make your flow much simpler I think.
