Hi

I have two lists, one with all the elements and another one with just a few elements of the first list. What I’m trying to do is find the position of the selected item of the second list in the first list. The first list is a data base that has 1000 elements.

blocks

When I pass it to the screen1, It says that the index is smaller than 1 and doesn’t work. Can somebody give me an advice? Thanks in advance!!
