I have a List Iterator that starts life blank, and items are added via script. It seems that after each run, the items added to the list are saved with the project. Because of this, my project is flagged as modified by Subversion after each run, even though the “code” hasn’t changed, just the “data”.  
  
Can I code around this? Maybe create the list as a variable, and use that variable in my List Iterator? What makes a variable a “list”?  
  
thx,  
Joe

Joe,  
  
just add: %myvariable% = %myvariable% & vbCrLF & newitem  
  
And set the list iterator to have %myvariable% as the list.
