Where does the Index come from? Are you considering that array indexes are zero based? To further clarify, does the single value column contain the actual item you want to remove from the array, or is it maybe referring to the item following the one you want to remove. ---

My indexing is base off that table using the row IDs starting at 0. Let me double check everything and respond back. Perhaps there is an index order I am missing but I swear I have checked a half dozen times. ---

This is the Index Single Value Column: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/a/5/a5ee4efeb31360d8481ea36943e27efa30b3ff78.png) Assigned from this column: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/1/e/1e3f00fd0af63328a7704e55b650621efba6683c.png) The index value is row based: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/5/3/53a4d5668ffcab300d71cadef1e4291965060d81.jpeg) Also, please forgive all of the crazy naming. I have been at my wits end trying to figure this out so I have revamped some naming so I knew where I already looked. ---

Solved, thank you for even looking into this @Jeff_Hager. User error. I need to schedule breaks. It was actually working the way it should, the problem was what I had configured for visibility. And I used the wrong select for a URL path split. That single column finding the wrong destination in the URL path caused it. However, I am squared away and there is no bug. ---

Just in case anyone else needs this. I have a JSON object that was in question here for this application and it has a key/value pair of ‘url’: ‘’. I tested and verified what was being applied where by extracting the file name as needed using a JSON Query: url.$substringBefore($split($decodeUrl(),“/”)[-1], “.”) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/1/7/17de9b93d9de097d33b1680946e0285fd91e4c01.png) ---

Great use of data transformation right in the Query JSON column. ---
