Coll bug? No output when being fed from dict object

    I'm writing a patch to create a user interface, where you can alter a cue list through coll and jit.cellblock. I'm using dict to save the altered info. The problem occurs when I'm feeding the altered info back into coll. If I fill the coll using dict, it doesn't respond to any queries. Is this a bug in coll?
    I'm using Max 7
    Thanks!

      Looks like the numbers are being converted to symbols when you push_to_coll.
      Try the green boxes...

      Thank you so much Dan. So the formatting must change through the dict object, and coll doesn't respond to, let's say - 2 - when the formatting now is "2". Cheers from Stockholm

      Exactly! You can get some powerful data flows going with coll and dict. Just wish there was some more detail in the documentation.
