Manipulation on List Source Variables in Apps

Hello Community,

I’m very curious about the capabilities of the List Source Variable Type inside UiPath Apps.

I understand that I can basically save a whole entity with multiple fields inside a list source variable, but what operations can I perform with it? For example, I’m trying to get the total records in my list of “customers” where the field “resident” equals true. How can I perform such an operation once I have basically all my entity inside this list variable “customers”?

I do understand that an easy way to get the result of the statement above is essentially reinitializing the list variable with a set value and using the query builder, but that is taking the fun out of it. My goal is to really leverage the VB expression functionalities and understand how far it can go.

So, I thought of performing a LINQ Query on this list to fetch the required values, but I’m having trouble finding the right properties and syntax for it. Hopefully, and most likely, someone has more knowledge on the matter than me surely @Arvind_Kumar1 . I’ll be waiting for a response.

Thank you very much, and regards!

@Luis_Fernando ,

you can set list source value and into set you can pass filter to get the correct count.

Are you not able to do that?

If I understood you correctly, you’re suggesting that I use a set value to filter the list based on my criteria. If that’s right, I have indeed tackled the problem that way. However, as mentioned above, I’m trying to delve deeper into understanding the different methods I can use with the List Source Variable.

@Luis_Fernando ,

you are right, what else are you trying to do with list source. Infact you can store list of data into variable and you can do more complex operation based on your demand.

Exactly, I would like a series of exaples from which I can start to understand the possibilities. I don´t if you know of a resource I could refer to. Because since Apps have been getting so much updates I´ve notice that now there is a lack of resources to understand new features and sort of dive deeper. Perhaps the UiPath team is working on a latest version of an Apps course in Academy , but till then I have to find my own ways.
