2 weeks ago This behavior is so prevailing, that it is impossible for me to define a list of all my things, as elements of the list constantly keep changing, and fixing it changes other entries throughout the list.
This is surely a problem that should be looked at but it's also an XY Problem. You shouldn't need to create a list of all your Things in the first place. OH supports getting all your Things as a List out of the box, but it appears that Blockly doesn't have a block for that (yet). But you can access the list of all Things using an inline script block with:
-
First create a variable, I'll call it "allThings".
allThings = things.getThings();
You can then plug "allThings" into the for each loop block.
@stefan-hoehn , would it make sense to add a "get things with tag" type block? Or even just "get all things" block?
Back to the original problem, what does the code look like before and after it jumps like that. That will show if it's just a display problem of if the generate code is wrong too.

The problem
When creating a list in blockly (in my case: with 30+ items), as I am adding things to the list, preceeding elements keep changing (see video).

Expected behavior
The list can be defined without items shifting that have been defined before.
Steps to reproduce
Re-build the "create list"-blockly-code as seen in the video, and try adding a large (>10 items) number of things.
