Paths disappearing on the way into the Cluster

Hey hey,

I don't really understand how clusters work, but I find them comfortable when I'm working with bigger data structures.

Anyhow those clusters seem to absorb paths as you can see in the picture...(?)

1. Is an empty path really there, or is it only a question of what I am shown, and what not?

2. I need to compare lists further on, and therefore they have to have the same length.

3. Do gates like 'xor' and 'and' behave differently on empty paths and non-existent paths?

4. How can I recreate empty paths?

Thank you.

This seems like a bug, empty paths should carry over into clusters.

Components that operate on items may skip empty paths, I don't at the moment recall how these are handled by default and if (and how) individual components can override this behaviour.

Thanks, that's a bit unfortunate, but good to know.

I will work 'around' the problem by converting the list to sth. partly filled with trash, transport the information and filter the trash out agian. :P
