Short description of error
Value to string in repeat loop not updating value

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
I'm trying to convert the scale value to text (a string) so it will show the new radius value of the scaled cylinder.

When the scale value is converted to text (a string) the value does not change. I've tried it multiple ways but the string value does not change even though the scale of the cylinder does.

See images with arrows and blend file below.

The text should say the scale the cylinder was scaled to then I would convert it to the radius/diameter in mm.

Hi, so value 0.6 is the factor of scale, and you want to print scale value?

Hi, so value 0.6 is the **factor of scale**, and you want to print **scale value**?

@mod_moder The initial scale value is 0.6 of the cylinders but the text should be going down (example: 0.6, 0.5, 0.4, 0.3) but they all stay at 0.6. Yes I would like to print the scale value so I can convert that to the radius in mm.

Scale factor and actual scale is the different values. You have to multiply scale by factor for each repeat. That is not a bug.

@mod_moder your answer is very confusing "You have to multiply scale to factor for each repeat" this sentence doesn't make any sense. Would you be so kind to point to / have an example to something that does this? The documentation doesn't show any of this.
