When fetching a list from the web and using it with a JavaScript script, it only returns the first text from the list instead of returning the complete list.

What a could i do?

var dates = [%List_date%];
var min = dates[0];
for(var i = 1; i < dates.length; i++) {
  if (fDate(dates[i]) > fDate(min))
    min = dates[i];
}

WScript.Echo(dates);

function fDate(s) {
  var d = new Date();
  s = s.split('/');
  d.setFullYear(s[2]);
  d.setMonth(s[1]);
  d.setDate(s[0]);
  return d;
}
But from what it seemed to me, any list created previously by Power Automate doesn't fetch the entire list.

You can only pass a simple string variable to a script from PAD, and anything returned by a script to PAD will also be a string. So, you need to work with strings and then build in processing for the string (such as splitting it into a list) into your script (if you want to pass it from PAD to a script) or in your PAD flow (if you want to return it from a script to your PAD flow).
