Hello Guys, If I am updating My product name list with this input: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/2/6/26cd581d5ad7b99744815335095f3913789ef333.png) 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](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/a/4/a4474a4898c431355bc31d234d300bdd1b7b04e0.png) You can check above screenshot. All entries are different. I will try to add “adfa” again so it is not updating. ---

Hi there, @info.gauravchauhan… if I understand your initial post correctly, the issue you are seeing is described in this post, and the last response includes a potential solution. > [@Creating a List with duplicate entries](http://forum.bubble.io/t/creating-a-list-with-duplicate-entries/93564): > > Hello Bubblers! slight_smile I am having 8 separate inputs in my app. They look like below: [Zrzut ekranu 2020-05-24 o 21.44.29] (example data filled) I need to create a list basing on those inputs. For the above inputs, the desired list shoud look like below: ABC, DEF, GHA, GHA, DEF, , POD, XXR As you can observe, the GHA and DEF entries are saved double into the list, as input by user There is also empty list item between DEF and POD entries, as input by user I’m now using the :plu… Hope this helps.

As per your post, Is not possible with The Bubble? ---

As the post (and a number of others like it) indicates, you can’t have duplicate text values in a list. A potential solution for you is to have a `Product` data type and save each product as a thing in that data type. Because each thing in the data type is unique, it won’t matter if two products have the same name. ---

Just some friendly advice… if you don’t know how to create a thing in a data type (which is about as basic as it gets), you are really going to struggle on your Bubble journey. You should definitely consider taking some time to work through Bubble’s tutorials… they are great when it comes to learning and understanding the basics. The above being said, I created a quick example for you… Create a `Product` data type with a `name` field. ![screen1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/6/f/6fba71c3dc5e1e10121fb6ad4340db1ffa675c98.png) Delete the `Product Name` field you are showing in your fourth post in this thread, create a new `Product` field with a _Field type_ of `Product` (i.e., the `Product` data type you created just above) in that data type, and make it a list. ![screen2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/d/0/d02c0568f1e857c9ef8ceaf79835bdf064439c2e.png) When the button you are showing in your first post in this thread is clicked, use the _Create a new thing_ workflow action to create a thing in the `Product` data type. ![screen3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/1/c/1c8a7e5c262105a8d6b6d56a448ab09664ca4add.png) Add a second step in that workflow that adds the newly created product to the list field in the other data type. ![screen4](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/1/e/1efe52ea833d914c07972a1b615c9d375cc66290.png) As you can see in the following screenshot, each product is its own thing in the `Product` data type, and it doesn’t matter if multiple products have the same name. ![screen5](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/3/1/315c86813bbf6661b59848b1c0a86d9219129345.png) Finally, because the list in the other data type is made up of unique things from the `Product` data type, you can now have multiple products with the same name in the list. ![screen6](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/e/e/ee17cd22a0b744d4acd8e39e10ff79d0b04db397.png) Hope this helps.
