This is a common error, so don't feel bad <wink>. While ':list' form variables *produce* a single list, their values are single list elements, not entire lists. You *can* produce a list from a single value with ':tokens' and ':lines' variables. Instead of the above, do this: <dtml-in things> <input type="hidden" name="things:list" value="<dtml-var sequence-item>"> </dtml-in> or this (if your things *never* contain newlines) <input type="hidden" name="things:lines" values="<dtml-var "_.string.join(things, '\n')">">
