RE: How do I pull the updated information from a tkinter form?
At least it is working and lets me continue to develop the overall program. I am working on the option to cancel the update if the user wants. Since I do not know of a better way, is it not the best at the moment? (-: My original design to edit the specifications by form was approaching 200 lines of code. With the loops, probably now is 75.

RE: How do I pull the updated information from a tkinter form?
OK, I was closer than I thought.
Two weeks ago, the concept of tkinter and these forms were totally new to me
as well as, about two days ago, python list was totally new too. I somehow
thought that "window.mainloop()" was supposed to be the last entry in the
function, silly me...
I did not think of returning the list.
Thank you, now it is back for another 30 hours of continuous programming...
(:

The updated data is in the StringVar-s, which, fortunately, you have
available in a list ;)
So:

return [spec.get() for spec in New_Specs]
print(EditDataByForm())
