Is the SaveInto field required to build a functioning editable grid using a!gridLayout?

In the context of building an editable grid using the a!gridLayout function in Appian, the SaveInto field is not required for the grid to function properly. The editable grid can be configured to display data and allow user interaction without specifying a save mechanism.

This means that users can still edit values directly within the grid, and the layout will enable them to make changes visually, but without defining how and where those changes are saved (if at all), the grid will simply retain its original data after user interaction. Therefore, the presence of the SaveInto field is optional, making it possible to develop an editable grid that does not commit changes back to a data source or variable.

In scenarios where data persistence is important, the SaveInto field would need to be included to specify how user edits should be managed; however, for basic functionality and user interaction, it is not a mandatory component.
