It seems ridiculous that I can’t figure this out but I’m stuck and couldn’t find the answer here.

I am using a “count with” block and I need to add an index variable for a new loop. I’ve used i and j already. How do I add another variable (e.g. “count with k”)? I tried initializing an app variable and using that (“app k”) but the loop didn’t count at all… it just stayed at the initialized value.

And the drop-down menu next to j only has “rename variable” which doesn’t allow me to add a new variable.
