The node expects strings, the error says that it's not getting a string. add some debugs to see what is being fed in.

yawstick1 · 8 February 2021 13:57

not really sure what I did but its working now... I changed the add item from lowesitem to lowes still no good so I changed it back to lowesitem and it went to working... perhaps I had a typo in it... after reviewing it clearly had a typo lowesItem instead of lowesitem
