Problem with Lists from Airtable

I think that this should be simple, but I just can’t figure it out. I’m pulling data from an Airtable source into a list. This is just a simple example to illustrate the issue. I’m sure that I’m doing something wrong and I’d appreciate any help.

I’m just appending “A” as a place holder for the data that I will use in the future, however the simple list is being populated with the data from ‘Full Project List’ instead of ‘Unique Project List’ as far as I can tell and Label1 ‘Length of Unique Project List’ is set to 88 before I ever add a value to the list.

If anyone could tell me what I’m doing wrong here, I would greatly appreciate it.

The issue is with how you are setting or calling these variables, you’re using the blocks for dynamically named variables. This block is looking for text so when another variable block is placed here, an error occurs.

Instead, use the set variable for static names when setting Full Project List.

For setting the text or text items to a variable, you’ll want to use App Variable name block.
