Why does shortest list work differently with Text Tag?

Hi!

I'm not sure what to think about this. In the first image the components use the Shortest list option. However the components output the data differently. I'd like to make "Text Tag 3D" (highlighted) and "Rectangle" work like "Text Tag" i.e. I would like to populate data on points, but where there is no data corresponding to a point, I would like to have it left empty. Also attached is the Longest list option.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi Thomas,

note that the shortest list is the single number in the S input. Text Tag doesn't have an S input, so it will have to look elsewhere for the shortest list.

Thank you David!

So if I understood, what is needed is to provide an S for the "Text Tag 3" for at least each of the strings (but one for each points will also do). The same goes for all of the inputs of "Rectangle".
