I’m working on my prompt generator, and I need to prepend my list items with a string: "by " (including the space).

I set this in the joinItems function of my output: joinItems(", by ") … but this (obviously) doesn’t include the first item of the list.

So I defined a prefix variable “pp = by”

Now my output is:

$output = [pp] [fa = defaultPainters.selectAll.joinItems(", by ")]

This works, but it seems a little kludgy - is there a better/preferred way?

Thanks for any tips!

    Can you give an expected output of the list, and some example lists? Didn’t see the linked generator lmaooo.

      A simple solution is just $output = by [fa = defaultPainter.selectAll.joinItems(", by ")], you don’t need to use a list if you are only outputting text.

        Yeah… I guess I had it right, except I didn’t really need to set the variable. It seemed like the right thing to do since I needed to use it for two different lists… but typing "by " in both outputs does the same thing, and doesn’t really save any characters. lol. Thanks!
