Gummie asked me to send this - [https://www.gumloop.com/pipeline?workbook\_id=6LC4Wxbw4Gn8LkhKYiFWAq&tab=1&run\_id=PjVLQZ3WtftgoHpXzTo8FD](https://www.gumloop.com/pipeline?workbook_id=6LC4Wxbw4Gn8LkhKYiFWAq&tab=1&run_id=PjVLQZ3WtftgoHpXzTo8FD)

So I set a list trimmer for 3 items (on a list of 35 items). Then I also included s Google sheet updater with the right ( I think) connections. But still I get this error …

hey! I see the issue!

You’re trimming those two paths properly but then sending a full length list right down the middle with no trimming.

The final node is getting two trimmed lists of size 3 and then one list of size 35 so it’s freaking out when trying to match each value together. I

If you trim the middle path it’ll work!
