I had to play with this but it makes sense. I was able to reduce in a test app 16 to a single list saved in 1 variable. i will share the code and app here. it is a simple discrete trial teaching data collection tool used in an ABA therapy setting.

currently the app is set up to measure 5 things in a % format. it only takes 18 blocks total and 0 extra variables per measure now instead of wayy more.

I have also made use of the anycomponent blocks a lttle bit more!
