I need to save a list of 5 dropdowns maintaining the item order
but when the dropdown is empty I don't want to save anything
I tried this but nothing
any ideas?
if sp1.selection is empty, and sp2 is not empty, like "4", and you save it as [4].
When you retrieve the data back, how do you know this 4 is for sp1 or sp2?

Are all five items the same type?
If one is missing would it cause confusion with the other items?
You could send a json string to Firebase, which would identify which "SP" the data was related to...
{"SP_1":4,"SP_3":7}
then parse this to a list on return.
I have a restriction so that it saves if it contains text in any of the dropdowns, otherwise it does not save
There are 5 elements to select
doesn't cause a problem
Only after saving and getting that list in another dropdown it appears as empty to select
If I could save this way
{"SP_1":A,"SP_2":B}
could
get only A,B in a dropdown?
any example?
There are plenty, and we have probably shown you most of them already.
Get the values from the json, set them to a list, and set the list to a spinner's elements
Search the board for "multiselect".
I managed to save empty but as text within a list
The only detail is that I can't insert "," between the items
any suggestions?
these are my blocks
When I add the symbols this happens to me
I get error
It seems there is something wrong with:
when any spinner. after selecting
I need to get this to save to FB.
If item 3,4,5 was not selected, nothing should be saved

Your ElementsFromString should look like this:
Spinner1 for Spinner1, Spinner2 for Spinner2, Spinner3 for Spinner3, etc.
something is wrong, I copied all the blocks you sent me and this message appears
The joined list in Label1 does not appear either
only {} appears
You could try it in the aia. What do I attach to you?
I will have another look at your aia.
Your copying mistake:
sorry for the mistake
but it's still not what I'm looking for
fb
The spinners must be empty when starting
If it does not contain text it should not be saved in the list
It should be the same when saving
fb
Do you need to know from which spinner the items were picked, so that they can be returned there when getting values from Firebase ?
You might save yourself a lot of time and effort by using this, with checkboxes:
