Why so complex to get a list, and count together ?

As the subject refers, it seems you have to do a mighty dance to get something so simple. If you are using a listitem, and have the counter enabled, surly its not difficult to jump to the requirement of counting something within the query and filling counter with it.

Otherwise why use it at all?

You cannot even call a query with a 'count' so it brings both together. What plans do you have, if any, for the counter function of a listitem ?

Hello Addy,

To be honest I have not heard about these plans. We use dB mongoDB in Appery.io backend. Backend provides API to some subset of the features of mongoDB. We permanently expand this subset of functions. So if mongoDB supports your query, it is quite possible that one day it will be supported by Appery.io database.

Hello Bad!

Could you post more details about what are you going to achieve? What have you tried and what exactly doesn't work? Perhaps we can suggest an solution/workaround.
