Functional Details

This module creates a list from specified objects, which can be single values, strings or lists themselves. The objects specified (`object1, object2, ...`) must all be the same type or be convertible to the same type. The output `list` is a list of the concatenated items.

To select items from the list, use the Select module.

A maximum of 21 objects can be concatenated with single call to the List module. In the user interface, the default number of enabled `string` tabs is two. (Tabs can be added to the module icon and removed with the appropriate `...Input Tab` options in the `Edit` pull-down menu of the VPE.)
