I have two lists that each have a column that is the same type of data. One list is for submissions and the other is for approved submissions. I have a gallery that shows the actual data and the submissions together, but without these being in the same column I can't sort them properly.

Example:

List 1 - Approved submissions AKA the actual data

AAA

BBB

CCC

List 2 - Submissions awaiting approval that will be added to the actual data once approved

DDD

EEE

FFF

Desired outcome:

AAA

BBB

CCC

DDD

EEE

FFF

How would I go about doing this?

Hi @Ryan_B ,

The below will work if both lists have the same column names and types:

ClearCollect(colTotal,List1); Collect(colTotal, List2)

If there's not a 100% match, you'll have to perform some manipulations.

Wow, I didn't think it would be that simple.

Turns out the reason I wasn't able to do this was because I had imported the list from Excel and the columns were showing up as field_1, field_2, etc. I remade the lists from scratch and just copy-pasted the data into them and it worked like a charm.

Thank you!
