How can I capture an array of values in Adobe Analytics?

Question

For my application, I want to capture an array of values. I have set up a listVar in Adobe Analytics with a delimiter of ',' and from my application I am storing the list(options) in local storage like this- option1,option2,option3. I have made a rule corresponding to it in Adobe Experience Launch, and setting variable using Custom Code-

s.list1 = localStorage.options;

But when I pull up list1 listVar in Analytics Dashboard, I am getting Unspecified. Please tell me where I am going wrong here.

That certainly tells you how often I work with localStorage in Launch 🙂

If you're still having this issue, I'd suggest the following options:

Confirm that the value is actually set in localStorage. You can do this by running the localStorage.getItem("options"); command in the console or checking the storage key directly in your browser's developer tools.
Confirm that the data element is actually getting set by calling _satellite.getVar("YOUR-DATA-ELEMENT-NAME"); directly in the console.
Confirm that the value is included on the analytics calls by evaluating the network request directly, or through any of a number of debugging tools (AEP Debugger, ObservePoint plugin, etc).

@vivek091195 - Assuming you've set the localStorage key correctly, you'll need to call localStorage.getItem("options") to retrieve it. For example:

localStorage.setItem("options", "one,two,three");
// sets the "options" storage key to "one,two,three"

localStorage.getItem("options");
// retrieves "one,two,three" from the "options" storage key
