Share the error message, we can’t see anything wrong in those screenshots.

My guess is the view provided isn’t valid for that category.

Hey,

Just a small thing, the output from the Python node is a List containing the item, perhaps that affected it?

Kind regards,

I get the same issue, and “All elements in the active view” return an empty list. Using this Python actually works, also list.Create works. However, after using Python and list create, I tried removing them and directly connecting the category, and it worked.
