Hello,  
I generate a list inside a function called GenerateList.

```auto
  "nodes": [
    {
      "parameters": {
        "functionCode": "// Code here will run only once, no matter how many input items there are.\n// More info and help: https://docs.n8n.io/nodes/n8n-nodes-base.function\n// Tip: You can use luxon for dates and $jmespath for querying JSON structures\n\n\nreturn [['alice','john']];"
      },
      "name": "Function",
      "type": "n8n-nodes-base.function",
      "typeVersion": 1,
      "position": [
        720,
        280
      ]
    },
    {
      "parameters": {},
      "name": "Function1",
      "type": "n8n-nodes-base.function",
      "typeVersion": 1,
      "position": [
        1240,
        360
      ]
    }
  ],
  "connections": {}
}

```

And I want to use to list (for a loop) inside another Function1.

Hey @Thomas_Pedot,

In the second node in the item loop you can access the array with `item.json` so you would use that for your processing within that loop. The below should help, Let me know how you get on.
