Insert list item at

Okta Workflows’ List card has two functions for adding items:

• List-Add to End.
• List-Add to Front.

There is no card to insert an item at a specific index.

This flow shows how to insert an item at a specific index.

How the flow works

1. The List-Construct card creates a list.
2. The Flow Control-Assign card creates an item to insert into the list and at what position (index).
3. The List-Split splits the list into two lists at the position (index) to insert an item.
   • Using the example above and inserting at position 3:
     • List 1: Sales, Marketing, Human Resources
     • List: Finance, Engineering
4. The List-Add to End adds the item to the list (List 1).
   • List 1: Sales, Marketing, Human Resources, Customer Support
5. The List-Combine All combines the two lists:
   • List new: Sales, Marketing, Human Resources, Customer Support, Finance, Engineering

Running the flow:

List with a new item:

Note: this flow doesn’t handle adding an item at position 5. The flow requires extra logic to handle this use case.
