Hello, Bubblers! please how do I get bubble to allow duplicate values to exist in my list? it always removes duplicate values especially in custom state lists

Hi there, @abdullahi.alfa… the short answer is you need to create the list by using items in a data type because those items are unique, so it won’t matter if two or more of them have the same value for whatever it is you are displaying in the list.

A longer answer (with an example) can be found in this thread…

Same Name & Number of list is not updating

Hello Guys, If I am updating My product name list with this input: [image] So, It is updating with only different names, Suppose I am going to type “NAME” and If again I will add “NAME” so it is not updating. If I will write “NAMES” then it is udpating. [Screenshot_38] You can check above screenshot. All entries are different. I will try to add “adfa” again so it is not updating.

Best…
Mike
