Automagic Forum

Hello,

Pardon my ignorance.

I've been searching something about Collection in Automagic with not much success.
I'm building a flow and it returns error message "expecting a collection".....

Could someone please give me some information about collection mainly how to create it, how and when to use it instead of a List.

What is the difference between a List and a Collection.

Thank You

Hi,

Where/How did you get this error? It probably just means "list". It likely comes from Java where Collection is the base class of Lists and Sets (and some other things that can store a bunch of objects).
You can create a "collection" in Automagic with newList() (If you are using the java features in action Script, there are many more ways to create other types of collections).

Regards,
Martin

Martin,

Thanks for the reply and for the explanation and sorry for the delay to reply. Had some business to attend to in Chicago.

Since the post, I've been trying a lot of options and now the "newList" fixed the old collection message.
I cannot replicate or remember what I did in the flow to generate the collection message.

At some point I lost my marbles trying to achieve something that is simple (by your standards, of course) and had to stop developing the flow while in Chicago.

Best Regards

Peter
