I have used Textfields in tableview for data entry. I have customised the UITextField class in a separate class called Utility :

In Utility.h

 @interface CustomUITextField:UITextField{
        NSInteger rowNumber;
    }

In Utility.m

@implementation CustomUITextField

@synthesize rowNumber;
@end

My tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath method is

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)theTableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

    static NSString *Identifier = @"Cell";
    UITableViewCell *cell = [theTableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:Identifier];
    if(cell == nil)
        cell = [self reuseTableViewCellWithIdentifier:Identifier withIndexPath:indexPath];

    CustomUITextField *itemNameTextField = (CustomUITextField *)[cell.contentView viewWithTag:TEXTFIELD_TAG];//this is the tag I have set in reuseTableViewCellWithIdentifier method for textfield
    itemNameTextField.rowNumber = indexPath.row;
    itemNameTextField.text = @"";//you can set it for the value you want
    if(itemListTable.editing)
        itemNameTextField.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect;
    else
        itemNameTextField.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleNone;



    return cell;

}

You can customise the delegate methods of UITextField for CustomUITextField & can save the text entered in a particular row's textfield by accessing the CustomTextField's row number.

Just try with this.
