Hey fam,
I'm trying to build an app where it lists 5 or so things and outputs them to a label. Only issue is following the DRY method, I had to use a For In loop so I wouldn't be rewriting a bunch of code. My only issue is when I output this to a Label, my label on displays the bottom item. Is there a way I can make it so it displays everything as a list? for example this is what is should look like
- eggs
- bread
- milk
but it appears as this
- milk
Thanks!
anything helps!

lblWork.text = "(randWork)"
only thing is instead of coming out at
- milk
- eggs 3.butter
it came out as 3.butter
it only showed the last item. Any way of making it show all in a list form or sending each item to it's own label?
Note - my code is correct for concatenation but the browser keeps changing it on my side so I'm not sure if the forward slash is appearing or not.
