Question

I want to press the QTY button (red text) and copy the text (ie 13) into the textfield in the same row.

-(IBAction)qtyButtonPressed:(id)sender {

UITextField *textField = (UITextField *)[self.view viewWithTag:3];

textField.text = @"13";

this is what i have atm.

If every cell has a button, first you need to be able to identify which button from which row was clicked. Usually if it is a table with 1 section, you can just set the row number as the button tag value inside cellForRowAtIndexPath:… set when the cell is visible

[button setTag:indexPath.row];

Then in the selector called when the button is pressed, get the tag value to determine row number, and set text for textfield in that row

  int row = [sender tag];
  NSIndexPath *indexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:row section:0];
  id cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
  [cell.textField setText:....];

For this to work, you need to subclass a UITableViewCell, and make button and textField accessible with property/synthesize.
