Getting the sum from multiple lists of numbers at current cell's index

Trying to do a search for a group of Objects, then access each item’s “List” field and get a sum of all the numbers for a given index in each objects list:

Search for Objects: each item’s List: item#Current Cell’s index:sum

However, :sum is not an option at the end:

Search for Objects: each item’s List: item#Current Cell’s index

the only options are round to , floor ceiling etc, as though it isn’t returning a list of number but a single number. This is confusing because im saying for each object in the seach for objects value at a given index in a list, which in my mind is a list of numbers. what am i missing here?

some pseudo code to help clarify what i’m trying to do

Search for objects:

sum(
object_1.list[index]
object_2.list[index]
object_3.list[index]
)

There’s an action in my Floppy plugin for doing just this sort of thing and I explain this problem, and how to solve it with Floppy in the video linked here:
