Saving same number in custom state list

Hello guys,
Im using a custom State X (List) with Numbers. When running an action Workflow where im calculating number of certain entrys same numbers wont be saved with the “Plus Item” Operation. Anyone here have any idea how to bypass that?

Im thinking about saving them as texts but then i dont know how to format them to numbers again.

You can’t have duplicate texts in a state list either. The easiest way is to find a plugin to achieve what you need.

Hi! There’s a way to do this. You can check out the solution for a similar use-case in the Forum below

Adding multiple 0's in a list in the database Need help

There are 2 things you can do about this: Instead of the field being a list of texts, you can make it a list of things - and each thing contains a text field. That way, even if the text is the same, the thing would be different. You can get the response (list of texts). Next use the :format as thing operator in Bubble and each text can be formatted as Calculate randomString formula_Text value and add a unique sepearator (like |). Example: a list of 1 0 0 would be as 1_45d | 0_3s3 | 0_24d. …

Let me know if this works for you
