Adding list to Empty Custom State

[kyleharryjohnson]

Hi - I’m trying to set a workflow that will add a list of texts to a custom state, but the work flow is complaining that the list should be texts but is empty.

I want the workflow to be able to add if the custom state is empty or already has items.

I was doing “page’s custom_state:plusitem list from multidropdowninput”

I’m not sure how to resolve this.

EDIT: I changed the custom state type from text to to be the same as the type that the multi-option dropdown is using, but this has not fixed the problem

If the custom state ‘type’ is the same as MDRP.SelectSizes ‘type’ then you need to be adding the values of that dropdown, not a field on that datatype.

Yes i worked that out when I changed the type of the custom state, so I removed the field.

however, it is still not working because using :plusitem the platform is saying that the list can’t be empty.

Update: I used “merge with” instead of “plusitem” and it seems to be working.
