For example, if you're collecting an Account's Contact information, you can add an Edit Block to your Omniscript to enable users to add a record for each Contact. You can add other types of elements to an Edit Block, such as Formulas and Actions. For a complete list, see Compatible Elements in [Configure an Edit Block in Omniscripts](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.os_configure_an_edit_block_14284.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Edit Blocks enable a user to add and edit multiple entries in a single array. For example, you can use an Edit Block to list and edit an Account's list of Contacts. Edit Blocks are repeatable blocks by default. Prefilling repeatable blocks with data is possible using an array format."). ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-omnistudio-264-0-0-production-enus/f526eaa8-ae05-487a-8944-4bb99b0b78ac/images/icon_note.png) Note You can't nest Edit Blocks within other Edit Blocks, and you can add only one level of Block inside an Edit Block. Also, Edit Blocks don’t support the Custom LWC Element. In addition to this, these elements are supported inside an edit block. However, you can't toggle their visibility on the initial Omniscript screen via the **Elements Inside Edit Block** edit block property. - Image - Block - File - Disclosure - Line Break - Text Block - Radio Group - Type Ahead Block 1. From the elements panel, drag an **Edit Block** to the canvas. 2. Click the Edit Block's **Enable Edit Mode** icon. 3. From the elements panel, drag the elements you need into the Edit Block. For example, for a Phone field, drag a Telephone element into the Edit Block. ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-omnistudio-264-0-0-production-enus/f526eaa8-ae05-487a-8944-4bb99b0b78ac/images/icon_note.png) Note An Edit Block with an Edit Block Mode of Table can have up to six elements, or columns. Including more than six elements makes the columns small and uneven, resulting in odd word wrapping. 4. Where applicable, name the elements to match the field names. For example, for a Phone field, change the Telephone element's **Name** property from the Telephone1 default to Phone. - **[Configure an Edit Block in Omniscripts](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.os_configure_an_edit_block_14284.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** Edit Blocks enable a user to add and edit multiple entries in a single array.
