Any List
Seven inputs, one list — how to build a grid axis by hand

- LIST
Any List is the most boring-looking node in kenjiqq's pack and one of the most used, because it's how you hand-roll the row and column lists that XY Grid Helper sweeps. You type or wire up to seven values, it hands you one LIST. That's the entire feature.
Why does a list need its own node? Because ComfyUI has no built-in way to say "these seven disconnected values are one list." Most pack authors end up inventing string-with-delimiter hacks; this is the clean version. It takes any type - models, floats, text, whatever - so a row can even mix types (though you'll usually want them uniform).
Inputs
- input_a (required) - the first value.
- input_b through input_g (optional) - six more, seven total.
All inputs accept anything (AnyType with forceInput), so you can wire a CLIP in one slot and a string in another without complaining. The output LIST is the bundle, in order.
The typical shape: three or four of these feed the row_list input on XY Grid Helper, another couple feed column_list, and the grid materializes.
The gotcha nobody warns you about
The node builds its list with truthiness checks - each optional input is only appended if it's truthy. That means 0, "", False, and None get silently dropped. Sweep a list of numbers and a 0 value vanishes without an error; sweep prompts and an empty string disappears too. If your grid is mysteriously short by one row, this is why.
Two workarounds: don't put falsy values in the list (use a non-zero stand-in), or generate the list elsewhere - Load Lines From Text File and Text Splitter don't have this problem because they build lists from text, not truthiness.
Where it fits
You'll use Any List in a few places:
- Building
row_list/column_listfor XY Grid Helper - its main job. - Bundling values to feed Any List Iterator when you want to step through them one at a time.
- Accepting a PACK output from Axis Pack - axis packing exists precisely so you can bundle a multi-value combo into one slot of a list, and Any List is where that slot lives.
Installing it
Part of kenjiqq/qq-nodes-comfyui - no pip dependencies, just the clone:
cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
