FAQ

“Repeat an Item” creates multiple copies of the same text/number, perfect for templates. “From Text Input” converts existing text into a list by splitting it based on how items are separated (commas, new lines, etc.).
Look at how your text is formatted. If items are on separate lines, use “New Line”. If they’re separated by commas like “item1, item2, item3”, use “Comma”. The delimiter tells the system where one item ends and the next begins.
No, the limit is 1000 items per generation. For larger lists, consider using multiple Generate List nodes or splitting your requirements into smaller batches.
The system automatically trims extra spaces around items. So “item1 , item2 , item3” becomes [“item1”, “item2”, “item3”] when using comma delimiter.
Yes, you can include any combination of text, numbers, and special characters. Everything gets treated as text in the final list.
If you’re pasting text with line breaks and want each line to be a separate item, choose “New Line” as your delimiter. If line breaks are within items, consider using a different delimiter like commas or semicolons.
