Server Connect Set Value in a loop

Incidentally, can you explain how the Global Name works? Is there any harm in always putting a name in there? Should I also put a name in the Name field if I’m also using Global Name? Would be good to know the difference and how best to use them.

Please check Patrick's explanation on how the global name works:

In server connect expressions must always have the curly brackets around them.You can always recognize the fields that accept expressions by the [image].

{{ you do math opeartions inside these }}

Wrong:

{{var1}} + {{var2}} + ({{var3}} * {{var4}}) / 7

Right:

{{var1 + var2 + (var3 * var4) / 7 }}
