One option is to simply store the new value in a variable whenever you change it. Then you can just reference that variable.

Another is:

Thanks Tatiang  
I did try this but seems to pull through all values still (if this looks correct)

Yep, you found the culprit!

The [list of values] block is already a list so it’s redundant (and problematic) to make it into a list with that extra block.
