create list block with a default number of inputs

[Javier JM]

Hello,

I am creating a list using newBlock('lists_create_with') but I would like the list to have only 1 input instead of 3. How could I change the default number of inputs.

I tried to set the itemCount_ property to 1

myBlock.itemCount_ = 1;

but it doesn't work. It seems the init function is called afterwards and itemCount_ is set back to 3

Thank you very much for your help

Hello,

If you're trying to create a specific block (especially one with a specific mutation!) I recommend deserializing it from XML. This makes sure that all of the block's state gets set up correctly.

For example:

```

var block = Blockly.Xml.domToBlock(Blockly.

this.block = Blockly.Xml.domToBlock(Blockly.Xml.textToDom(
    '<block type="lists_create_with"><mutation items="3"></mutation></block>'
), this.workspace);

```

I hope that helps! If you have any further questions please reply,
