Maybe it’s dead simple - but I just dont’t know 😑  
How do I get the n’th element from an array.

I was doing an image/color palette column with 5 elements - and now I would like to extract number 2 in the array.

How to do that?

Hola @Krivo

You can do that by using a Single Value column and set it to Get “From Start”  
The 2nd element in the array should be 1

Thx @SantiagoPerez

That’s what I thought would work. But maybe color palette (plugin) isn’t an array. It takes all values in

@SantiagoPerez Thanks.

I did it in a way I thought would be the same - but it wasn’t.  
Arh - it returned the second row - not the second item in the color palette column

@Krivo

Just take the array right at the beginning of the list. Not from the tables.
