List with "SELECT" keyword as values assigned throws exception

select_error.fsmI am learning on List and craft a small example as attached but it is throwing exception with the addition of "SELECT litres" clause. Is this a bug? Or I have some done something wrong?

Software Version:

FlexSim 21.1.1

list flexsim 21.1.1 select query

There are some conditions using a SELECT clause. The most important is, it MUST be a global list.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I've tried using global list and the same issue is seen. Furthermore, if the List properties has both "SELECT as quantifier" and "Assign SELECT..." checked the attached model works without error.

In regards to the requirements of the use of "SELECT" clause, the user manual has mentioned as below but they are not violated in this example too, even though this example is not using "SELECT" clause as quantifier.

The clause references a dynamic label field.
The clause references a label that is not explicitly defined as a field on the list.
The clause references a non-dynamic field.

Hope to get more inputs/advice.

hi @Ben Wilson the suggestion from @jason.lightfoot does not resolve my issue. After getting inputs from many others particularly from @Jörg Vogel I believe it may be a bug and I will send an email to dev@flexsim.com.

Thank you :)

If you add 'litres' and 'Type' as fields to your list you will not get the exception:
