there’s more information about my issue in this post, i just thought it would have been better to create a separate topic for it: [Extremely slow process retrieving data - #13 by wulfy\_starr](https://community.thunkable.com/t/extremely-slow-process-retrieving-data/2861275/13)

to summarize, the debugging label should be going from “setting” to “set”, but it’s only stuck at setting. setting it’s text to each separate lists do work, so the lists themselves aren’t defective. maybe it’s the actual variables? i’m not sure what could be going wrong, as i initialized them the exact same way i did for the last 5 i made (that do work)

Since this issue is directly related to the longer conversation in the other topic, I think you should post additional details there.

It’s confusing for people to read this, then have to go read the other topic, then come back here to answer you…
