I just want to have a list of things of type text.
I read through the documentation for Working with Data, but it only seems to describe how to make something while the app is running, through an action in the workflow. I (the designer) want to be able to make this list of things, before there is any user interaction. How can I do this?
Make them in Data tab > App Data. Select a type of thing and you’ll see you can create a new thing there.
Or you could create an admin page and create the list from there.
(I usually say that, too and then next, the inevitable “how do I do that?” question comes up. 
)
Thanks for the help! I totally missed the New Type box on the Data types tab, so I was only able to create a field on the User data type and got confused.
Gotcha. This technique of creating and using what I call system variables or system constants is very powerful.
The Data tab is fine for creating simple things, but for complex objects, creating your own admin interface with a repeating group can be WAY faster in the long run.
