What this question essentially revolves around is taking ANY table, populating a form with multiple records (unknown in quantity), allowing the user to edit all the data (basically like an excel spreadsheet) and submitting the form updating all the record/fields. I was starting down the path of field naming in the form something like [sku]_title, [sku]_order, etc but my gray matter just fell apart on the replace side where I had to reverse engineer the field names to attach the fields to the proper record skus. Figures that my brain is stopping me from describing my question about as efficiently as it is stopping me from figuring it out ;-) Does this make more sense?
