The codeless environment is terrible at doing anything like looping, you can't nest loops for example. I ended up grouping my results into sets of 25, and having a separate zap for each page.

In my data I needed a column with section + page number, section name being the dynamic element and the page number hard coded in, an awful solution but fortunately a working one at least. Fortunately two pages were sufficient.

Both zaps respond to the same (sub-item added) event and fire simultaneously, I can now add 41 subitems in one go.

Finally, I'm new to Monday so I'm sure there are lots of tricks that I have yet to pick up on. A lot of the concepts of how it organise my projects haven't been explained, I just jumped it (had to...) and self taught by playing. A more experienced user might not have quite so fraught experience.

With some equally ugly work arounds it could be possible that looping might be avoidable. My one thought would be to use prepopulated template items with subitems already in place. This lacks flexibility though so is probably only useful in very static environments.
