With the input of Daniel Oechslin I was able to make a simple solution without the code element. I use the funtion deepClone to generate a new listEntry-Object each run. See the picture below.

Hi Björn

I added this:

import fillListInLoop.ListEntry;

in.demoListEntry= new ListEntry();

in a script step between your XOR and the Dialog (Collect attributes for one entry in the demo list)

It works fine and I don't see any extra time consuming factor. Please remember that you can disable the animation. A scriptstep animation is shown slower by Default.

The correct behavior of this Addition would be to have a result as the following:

ListEntry(attributeOne=a, attributeTwo=aa)

ListEntry(attributeOne=b, attributeTwo=bb)

Hi Björn

Concerning your second run (Add list entry to demo list I (doesn't work)): I think the behavior you scripted is what it should be. The problem is, that you use the same 'in.demoListEntry' twice. You don't instatiate a new one before entering the new Dialog data. You should add something like:

DemoListEntry demoListEntry= new DemoListEntry();

demoListEntry.attribute1= "b";

demoListEntry.attribute2= "bb";

The same Problem should apply to you third run.
