Hi & welcome to the forum.

We will need more info to assist.

- Are you creating a new contrib (add-in) node for others to install? or just using node-red?

By the looks of it, your custom node is not using the dedicated [`editableList`](https://nodered.org/docs/api/ui/editableList/)

I would suggest you look at the source of any of the built in nodes that have an `editableList` for reference.

In short, you need to loop through the entries in `oneditsave` and store them as an object or array in the defaults. See here for more info: [Node edit dialog : Node-RED](https://nodered.org/docs/creating-nodes/edit-dialog)
