I suppose your tableViewCells are not dynamic. Your cell method will looks like this.

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
   let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "YourCellID") as! YourClass
    cell.yourTextField.tag = indexPath.row
//
// Alias will be tag 0
// Primary Phone will be tag 1
// Secondary Phone will be tag 2 
// Email Address will be tag 3, so on and so forth
// Then, attach to each delegate
//
    cell.yourTextField.delegate = self
}

Inside your UITableView handling class (which conforms to UITextFieldDelegate protocol), write this.

func textField(_ textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersIn range:NSRange, replacementString string: String) -> Bool {
let kActualText = (textField.text ?? "") + string
switch textField.tag
{
case 0:
    aliasValueHolder = kActualText;
case 1:
    primaryPhoneValueHolder = kActualText;
case 2:
    secondaryPhoneValueHolder = kActualText;
case 3:
    emailAddressValueHolder = kActualText;
default:
    print("It is nothing");
}
return true;
}

Then you can submit it.
