Hi all,

Could someone please help me with list collector variable and flow designer?

I have a catalog item with list collector variable. I am trying to use flow designer to display the values.

Flow designer will list if there is only one value . however, if more than one, it comes up as blank.

How do I incorporate the script in below link so I can display the value in description?

I think it's a bug from the system.

Thanks in advanced for your assistance.

I mean here's my test flow:

If the network drives List Collector points to a table, you should be able to do the same just by plugging in your variable into step 2.

Could you post a screen shot of the definition of the list collector?

One has to define those 1st:

And in case you are interested, here's how those are used in the Flow shown above:

1) Initialize both to empty string (not really necessary, just a habit):find_real_file.png

2) In each loop, add the current item to the list, by concatenating what already exists (empty in 1st loop), the separator (also empty in 1st loop) and the current item:

3) In each loop "initialize" the separator with (of course it will be "initialization" only in the 1st loop, will be more like "setting" it on subsequent loops - but its simpler to do it like that, than to add an if to check for 1st run and only set it than): find_real_file.png

Hi Janos, could you please help me further?

So I am pulling this from a custom table which has its name as display value.

 

The flow picked up the sys ID.

Thanks so much for your help so far. How can I make it to display its name?

 

This is the flow:

step 2:

Step 3, 4 and 5:

Step 6:

Given what information is available, what I can say is that you should modify step 4, the one that composes the list, to add not  2 ðŸ¢’ network_drive  but the current item and a dot-walked field in the table that network_drive points to at that:  3 ðŸ¢’ network_drive Record ðŸ¢’ <display value field label>. If you look at my screen shots, step 5, you will see that I am not adding  2 ðŸ¢’ Users  or  3 ðŸ¢’ User Record , but I am adding  3 ðŸ¢’ User Record ðŸ¢’ Name .

Somewhat related advice, for the list to look more "professional" in step 5 set variable Separator not just to a comma, but a comma and a break/space.

Hi Janos, thanks.

I was wondering that too on how to dotwalk to name .

I could not figure out how I can add network_drive so I added look up record step (step 3)

I still cannot figure out.. I'll use PDI and maybe point the variable to sys_user table and test.
