Mixing
creating four entries by clicking a button, and also adding them to a list
0
I'm creating an application where I can create more entries by clicking a button. I successful got that done, but the problem is, I want to collect the data entered in these multiple entries, then I realized that they don't have variable names I can call them with. How do I create these entries and use them in another function? The code is too much to paste here.

You can associate each entry with a textvariable and store these in a list. I have included an example of the mechanism.
from tkinter import *
root = Tk()
root.geometry('300x200')
entry_list = # List to hold all textvariables corresponding to entrys
def new_entry():
print('Creating entry no.', len(entry_list)) # Log creation to console
v = StringVar() # Create new textvariable
e = Entry(root, textvariable=v)
e.pack(pady=(10,0))
entry_list.append(v) # Append textvariable to list
Button(root, text='New entry', command=new_entry).pack(pady=(10,0))
root.mainloop()

how can I call those widgets from the list? Because my button creates 4 buttons per column after clicking. Tried applying your idea, but still couldn't call the items from the list.

you can just pass a index to the list appended like how you normally deal with lists

If you create more than one widget per iteration you can save them as a list or a tuple, thus creating a list of lists or a list of tuples. Or if you want to name them, a list of dicts.
