Hello everyone,

Who can help me with the following.

My IF Statement only returns the 0 index and not the entire sublist.

Who can help me?

Thanks in advance!

@Fernand77 For me, the easiest way out would be to put a Code Block as below:

```auto
[ifTrue,ifFalse][check?0:1];

```

```auto
ibool;
lst1;
lst2;
c = [Imperative]
{
if(ibool==true)
{return lst1;
}
else
{return lst2;
}
};
