# LIST\_OF\_ANY

### Description

`LIST_OF_ANY` is the flexible counterpart of `LIST`.<br>

It looks at all values you provide in between a set of brackets, each separated by a comma, and returns them as a single list.

If you are working with text values, consider using [`JOIN_OF_ANY`](https://docs.atfinity.io/rule-language/operators/unknown-operators/join_of_any) instead.<br>

### Example

```
p is Person
LIST_OF_ANY(
    p.title,
    p.first_name, 
    p.middle_name, 
    p.last_name
)
```

This [expression](https://docs.atfinity.io/rule-language/expressions) extracts the name components of a person, including title. If the [case](https://docs.atfinity.io/guides/glossary/case) is about President (p.title) John (p.first\_name) Fitzgerald (p.middle\_name) Kennedy (p.last\_name), this expression has as output:

`['President', 'John', 'Fitzgerald', 'Kennedy']`

If only a first and last name have been filled out in the case, the return of this `LIST_OF_ANY` expression is:

`['John', 'Kennedy']`

Had the expression used the `LIST` operator instead, and only ‘John’ and ‘Kennedy’ are known values, the system would have asked users to provide the missing values ‘title’ and ‘middle\_name’, before giving you a result.
