Hi,

I saw this [post](https://community.thunkable.com/t/list-variables-does-list-x-contain-case-sensitivity-behaviour-is-undesirable/311024) from 2019 suggesting that an option should be added to the 'Does List x Contain" to allow it to be toggled from Case Sensitive to Case Insensitive.

A response to the post was that the input text could be set to be transformed to either UPPER CASE, lower case or Title Case.

There are 2 problems with this response -

1. If there is camelCase text in the list, there is no option for it to be searched.

2. Even if there was camelCase option, the search is restricted only 1 of these methods at a time, so if there is a mix of cases in the list that is being searched, something will get missed.

The way around this would be to do 4 searches (1 for each scenario) which is inefficient.

Can the programmers please look at adding a Case Sensitive/Insensitive option the block please?

Thanks  
Steve
