Hey @Vns ,

If you're more than one item from a list, it will create an array. I guess you're having troubles accessing each value of the array, in order to pick one item at a time. The solution to this is using a Run Sub Flow setting something similar to this image:

The sub flow will run depending on the number of items stored in the array, and the label below created to the children allows to acces each item individually, so that later you can pick them one by one. I upload a model as well.
