You can do it only to using javascript or multiple submit button — KreminT, Feb 07 '19 at 10:59

Why don't you use jquery and an ajax call?

Have a button that when you click calls a javascript function. In here you can get the value of the input such as this:

var textvalue = $("#txtval").val();

Create a json such as this:

var json = '{txttitle: "' + textvalue  + '"}';

and call your controller such as this:

$.ajax({
    url:'@Url.Action("//Function", "//Controller")',
    type:'POST',
    data: json,
    contentType:'Application/json',
    success:function(result){
        //Do nothing or do whatever you want
    }
});
