Thanks for the tip! I am using something similar but with the Toolbox ListExpression.

But the good news is I think there is a simpler way to do this without elements or plugins since this announcement: [[New Feature] '...:format as text' operator on lists](http://forum.bubble.io/t/new-feature-format-as-text-operator-on-lists/124248)

Would something like this would also work for your use case?
