Hi Thunkers! I’m looking a way to dynamically choose the name of the Datasource’s table when creating / getting / deleting rows locally, as also create new tables during the app session, but the current blocks doesn’t allow to do it, only use the pre-defined tables, “hard coding” the create / get / delete actions. Please let me know if you know any hack or another approach to make it work (storing data buckets for offline apps, maybe save/read locally a JSON file)?. ---

You can store data in variables as Json trees. You could do things that way perhaps? Dynamic branches within 1 variable. ---

humm… I hadn’t thought of that…but it looks like a solution! But how to initialize stored variables dynamically? I mean, I will need to do CRUD operations with stored variables to keep different data locally (create/read/update/delete these variables) and the “initialize” block is not customizable, only the “set” block. But if I choose to use a single Variable the size o Json will the increase, so my first idea was to create dinamically different variables to store a limited number of buckets. Anyway I’m going to do some tests to check how to manipulate Json, and for that, I’ll have to develop functions for reading and writing, but I believe it’s quite easy to do. the only downside may be that for larger volumes of data there may be considerable delays in writing / retrieving the whole data each time some Json object is updated. **[UPDATE]** I can create a Stored Variable as a LIST… So the problem can be solved! I can save a different JSON for each list Item. Of course I’ll have some overhead in the reading / saving process. ---

Yes, I was going to recommend a list in a stored variable. ---

If you start to do this then consider saving your data in `Firebase` instead of `stored variables` specially if you wan the data to be user specific because you can save the data under the `Logged In user ID`. It is more of a use case dependent. ---

The point here is that is an offline APP, with very limited access to Firebase to use on poor internet signal regions, so I will sync with Firebase only when online. Meanwhile I need to save the data collected in the app to save later. ---
