Components in a list for use with all components

[captainzee9999jf]

Hi all

I have come over from AI2 to this hopefully better system but have an issue with the using ‘any component’

I have made a list of button components then using the ‘for each item’ loop i want to change the text of each button in the list from some json data

the way i have shown doesent seem to work and the text for house4 button does not show as 3, it shows as some long alphanumeric number.

if i change my ‘house’ list to just numbers and create the component list inside the ‘set button in list’ section. it all works fine and house4 text becomes 3

to me it appears that you cannot put componants into a list which I could do in AI2

any help would be appreciated or if this is a bug

thanks

You can but a adding a ‘house1’ Will return it’s ID wich is a number and not it’s name.

You should Just Place numbers in the list.

The “j” will give you the entry in the list so you should say
set button j’s text to …

The other issue is the get property with the join text, you are actually saying house1house, house2house, house3house. Is this the key name in the JSON?

thanks guys.

j does return the contents of each item in the list, not the ID so either solution will work but have gone to - change button ‘j’ text and added a k=k+1 for the json ID

thanks for the quick replies
