I am making a code so that a specific piece of text changes to a different letter. However, when I try this code out, it keeps getting sliced up by commas. Any clue if this is a bug or a mistake in my code?

There’s not enough information here.

We’d need to have a link the project or at least a screenshot of the full set of blocks and the input values, expected values, and actual values you’re seeing.

So basically what I was trying to get was for each row in the spreadsheet, it should mark the person’s attendance as Y or N. For Example: If the app looked like this

I would want the spreadsheet to show:

But instead it is showing:

The `list of values` block will return a list such as {“a”,“b”,“c”}. If you then view that list as text, it will look like “a,b,c”. If you don’t want the commas to appear, then you have to use the `make text from list` block and use a comma “,” as the delimiter value.
