I figured it out using string contains I am trying to replicate this [https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/compare-two-unequal-lists/4880](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/compare-two-unequal-lists/4880) but with a set of stings. I know that the bottom input is a var but it still appears to be working I can’t get it to list the listed bool for the data that it is being compared to it is always just a single false. This would help me out a lot I am almost done. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/a/d/adfd3580fa455e9221b51042dce65a262116d9b0.png) ---

Since your list structures are different lengths, you’ll need to use a different lacing (bottom right) and probably try cross product. Then use a Any.True node and list levels to see if there are any may he’s per grouped list. ---
