You would think by now I would have an idea which one is :first item but I always get it wrong :downcast_face_with_sweat:.

What’s the bug?

First thing is the thing that matches the filter???

Its pretty easy to replicate. The box “Trying to change a list” will cover the list of options. Specifically the :first item selection. Which means you have to click out of the flow. And then re click back in, in order to select first item. If you use the pop up window it will remove the :filtered statement and change it with :first item.

Nothing game breaking but when it happens every time you use a :filtered statement it can get pretty tedious.

Keep in mind, in bubble we have elements of different types that all have ability to set a data type and data source, BUT important difference is some like a repeating group use a list while others like a popup can only be a single item.

When your data source is a list but the element requires a single item, bubble will force you to make the expression return only 1 item.

If you hover over an expression you can see if it evaluates to a list of things or a single thing. For the most part if you ensure your filters are going to return just one thing, using first item operator should be fine.
