Seems like I made a typo. Change line 28 to

if len(l1) == 1: return l1[0]

And since you’re trying to copy the same element twice, you’ll most likely need a “List.Map” node:

Thanks for your quick answer, Dymitar.

I got it.

 

Dear @Dimitar_Venkov,

The node “element.copy” seems to work in “cross” status, not “shortest”. For instance, you provide it 4 vectors and 5 elements, it will result 20 copied elements.
Do you have any suggestion for solving this bug?
Thank you very much

I needed that type of functionality back when I originally wrote it. I’ll rework it to be more consistent with Dynamo’s other nodes for the 1.0 SN release.

Edit: also you can use list.combine to override the functionality to what you need to achieve. Ping me if you need an example.

Just to save somebody else a bunch of time - it appears as though Element.Copy is no longer in the spring nodes package.

There is Element.CopyByVector in the Clockwork package which does the same thing.
