Hello again,

I am attempting to grab just the actual data from my query,
for example my list of 50 states returns:
on the front end and this is the query returns
I have tried to use right( query(), 11
and I get
why are only 2 chars taken off when 11 should be?

Hi Kevin,
If the output of your query is a list of dictionary, then all you need to use is an index function.Please refer to the following code and try to run it in an expression rule.
with( local!dict:{ {stateAbrv:"AK"}, {stateAbrv:"AZ"}, {stateAbrv:"AR"}, {stateAbrv:"CA"}, {stateAbrv:"CZ"}, {stateAbrv:"CO"}, {stateAbrv:"CT"}, {stateAbrv:"DE"}, {stateAbrv:"DC"}, {stateAbrv:"FL"} }, fn!index(local!dict,"stateAbrv",null))
Thanks TJ!
