Hi mike.cravenkcngfc, welcome to Thunkable! 🎉 Be sure to check out [How to ask Great Questions v2.0](https://community.thunkable.com/t/how-to-ask-great-questions-v2-0/2689983/1), the [Community Guidelines](https://community.thunkable.com/t/community-guidelines/78/8), and our [Getting Started Guide](https://docs.thunkable.com/getting-started/get-started) to make the best of your Thunkable Community experience! The issue is with how you are setting or calling these variables, you’re using the blocks for [dynamically named variables](https://docs.thunkable.com/blocks/blocks/variables-overview#h_233de41291). 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. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/a/8/a867623835e544c0d69ea11e050f8df919fef74c.png) For setting the text or text items to a variable, you’ll want to use [App Variable name block](https://docs.thunkable.com/blocks/blocks/variables-overview/variables#app-variable-name). ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/2/0/20b4605525ce20b9d7c7bd6b4ae25aa470194b92.png) --- _[View the full topic](https://community.thunkable.com/t/problem-with-lists-from-airtable/3606388)._
