You can’t use a list to set properties. It makes sense that you want to use the All Button block to set button properties but this is not possible.

Instead, you have to loop through the buttons in the All Button list. For starters, try just setting a button property by getting list item #1 from the All Button list/block and if that works, then see if you can get the loop to work.
