How can I add different load times to different tasks in global list?

I have 2 lists in global lists, TaskA and TaskB. The lists are used to control the amount of times 1 operator performs each task before switching back to the other. For example, I can make the operator complete TaskA 5 times before completing TaskB 3 times and it keeps going back and forth. However, TaskA and TaskB have their own load times. Is there a way to put load times in the lists? Or should I be doing this another way. Before I used the lists I was able to do this by putting load time of operator to Values By Case and then place triggers on the station for TaskA and the station for TaskB, but sadly I can't get this to work while using the lists. Let me know what you think.

Hey @Joseph L4, I think you can still use Values by Case on the operator. I added a label called TaskA to the operator that will act like an on / off switch (1 for Task A, 0 for Task B). This label will be assigned after the operator pulls a task from a list (1 or 0 depending on which list). I can set the values by case of the operator to be something like this with whatever load times I'd like:

Even better, I just realized you can use a string as well. That would probably be more clear:
