Hi @thunkers!
Have any of you been facing trouble with this block lately?
This block is just not executing. I have narrowed it down to this because I set the text of a label after every function stating the (function name) has been executed. The label’s text never gets set to FOR EACH ITEM DONE. That clearly points out the block at fault, because _all_ the blocks before it, yes, all the 2 blocks are getting executed! @domhnallohanlon any idea what is happening? I really need to know because I’m using a lot of the for each item block in my apps, and nothing will get executed without it.
P.S: My favorite debugging trick is to set the text of a label after every function. Could you please use the for each item block and try the same thing, and tell me the output here?
Thanks,
@codeswept

@codeswept Can you post a screenshot of your blocks? That block can be a little challenging because the variable “j” can contain various types of values (string, integer, list, etc.) and if you aren’t handling it as the right type, you’ll get an error/crash.

Is it disabled by any chance?

If you mean the entire block, no, it’s not disabled. Here’s a simple demo:

Thanks! I do understand its functionality. But I have a feeling even yours has a glitch. It’s setting the label text to"

10.
1 and 2 have repeated. I live-tested the same app 2-3 times with the same output.

> Thanks very much @drted! I also tried using Airtable to save scores and player names, but it’s not working. Could you share the link of this project which has this code so I can take a closer look? Here is my Airtable code: There’s no data as of now. [image] All the images have been given in sequence. Could anyone please check this out and if any, give me suggestions? Also @drted, the link for that code would be really helpful, because I am not yet good enough to …
That’s a post in another topic of mine. The screenshots contain thee blocks which are crashing in my case.

Interesting. For me, it displays 1 through 10 in order with no repeats and no mistakes. It’s that way on Chrome on a Mac and on my iPhone in Thunkable Live.

No, @tatiang’s project does not have Airtable, that’s a different project I made.
