So if I am understanding this correctly, custom lists aren’t able to have the “Real field and Flowcards” so you can’t have the list selector like I previously used:

So instead have to use the tag values and logic cards like this, and do a match on the correctly typed in case sensitive value like so:

But, you are hoping to override this behaviour in a future release, so you can have custom labelled picker lists?

Right now: Indeed (that And card is a default Homey flowcard belonging to the media-input-picker, i have no control over that card).

For right now, this is the only solution yeah.

Yes, but this would only work when you would override real default Homey Capabilities.

Thats why im gonna make an “And” flowcards for lists, which will work just like the current “Then” cards (an autocomplete instead of a real dropdown field, but its kinda the same).

It will be included in the app before i release it to production.

Thank you for the clarification… sorry I was just trying to get my head around what was and wasn’t possible, and how to adapt my Flows accordingly 🙂
