Hi there,
the generate-JSON-from-object component helps me to transfer a variable, which is a list (=array), to another screen, by storing it in the local storage.
It would be nice, if I could link the "create list from… /create list from item… / create list with… " components directly to this.
Because of this lacking linking, I have to declare a variable before I link this variable to the generate-JSON-from-object component, which could be seen as a workaround.
thanks, keep doing your awesome development, I really enjoy it!
cheers,
User81
