When firebase got value is doesn’t detect whether is a list or a boolean is just shows it as a text

and also when creating a list some times it skips the first index and starts it from the second one as the first index

I usually convert my lists to text and save them that way because the way Thunkable X saves to FB seems broken. Its much easier to convert the list to text when saving and then convert text to a list (using the block in the list drawer).
