Test value for variable

I've gotten around this for a bit with an initial value for a variable, but is there a way to create a test value for a variable? When I use an array in a variable to create a repeat, I need to be able to select the properties that become each visible piece of the loop, if the variable is null or an empty array, i don't have anything I can select, so I have to put dummy data in and then later remove it (and if i have to update the repeat function, then I'd have to add the data back again...)

We don’t have an easy way to do that yet.

One trick I have used is to use the Drop formula in the repeat to remove items from the start of the list.

Just remember to remove the drop formula before you push 🙂

Does it make sense?

yup! Not perfect, but will give me the "blank" state I need for testing as well as a populated state to work with in other formulas
