Hello actech,

Your project is really good, but it doesn’t work as I need. I’m trying to retrieve a column from airtable in listviewer, and search this items. I think Jane’s version is exactly what I need. I made Jane’s version, but when I live test, app crashes for some reason.

Another user posted the same error and Jane replied:

> When this app was first made, a ‘null’ variable could be treated like an empty list. This isn’t the case any more. Have fixed the app by changing the initial setting of the lists to the empty list.

But I don’t know what does it means. Can you help me?

Thanks!
