Hi guys,
I’m getting this error with the node list.filterbystring.
Who can help me?
Error at the input “string”:
Error: This input symbol is not currently valid, and cannot be saved until it is fixed. Valid inputs take the form:
name : type = defaultValue
The input name should be a valid variable name, without spaces. An input type and default value are optional
Error at the code block:
Warning: Method ‘Flatten’ has been deprecated, please use method ‘DSCore.List.Flatten’ instead
Thanks in advance!

Replace Flatten(item); with DSCore.List.Flatten(item);
See if it works.

It works! What should I place in the red error at “string”?

“String” looks fine, what’s the error message anyway?

my bad, try remove double quotes. I haven’t work with custom node for quite a while. If it still doesn’t work, I guess need some help from other guys in community.

No it still isn’t working, but it works with the node Contains.
maybe you can try this
String : string
It works on dynamo 1.3.2. May i know which version are you trying at?

I’m on the newest version (2.3)
So is it working?? If not, try this:
String : string = ""
Take note of the capitalisation.

No, it still gives an error.
i think you cannot use String as its input name as it is considered a type now is dynamo 2.X

Okay, then I will try and figuring out something else.
or this
i mean there is so many other way to go by it, i personally would prefer a more concise and descriptive input as shown in the picture above

I’m having a similar issue with a particular node… when I put Sheets in Input it turns red and gives me the same error above. Anyone with a straight answer to this issue, please?
Any joy in solving this error…?
