Format as text results in a list

What happens when format as text results in a list of text? Should you use split by once the format as text operator is closed and are bubble things split by a (,) comma?

There are a list of ids I need to pass to a back end workflow. If a checkbox is true then grab the list of ids. If checkboxA’s value is yes: format as text [yes = thing’s list of ids] [no= empty] but it’s expecting a list. All I have now is a string. Split by seems to by my only option.

Future proofing so I can’t actually test if the list is being passed. lol

What you seem to be doing now is double conversion from list to string and need it back in list format. Instead, use the list of ids (assuming they are a list) and just send that list to the back end.

I only want to take the list to the back end if a checkbox is selected. That’s why I’m attempting to use Format as text.

That doesn’t require using format as text. You can use checking the box as a trigger to store the list of ids in a state that is then sent to back end or have different actions on click based on whether the checkbox is checked.

Every now and then my brain just gives up. . I’m blaming it on the dental work today.

Thank you
