Subject: [Zope] Problems with lists
I use the the following  dtml commands to populate the db.

<snip>

       <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('counter', REQUEST.SESSION['counter'])">
       <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('loop_counter_temp', '0')">
       <dtml-call "string_to_int(loop_counter_temp ,REQUEST)">
       <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('loop_counter', y)">
       <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('loop_counter', 1)">
<dtml-in expr="_.range(counter)">
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('student_score1', student_score1_temp[loop_counter])"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('student_score2', student_score2_temp[loop_counter])"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('student_score3', student_score3_temp[loop_counter])"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('student_score4', student_score4_temp[loop_counter])"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('student_score5', student_score5_temp[loop_counter])">
       </dtml-in>
       <dtml-call expr="create_holistic_score_record(REQUEST)">

But these are the results:

REQUEST
form
student_score1_temp ['2', '2', '2', '2', '2', '2', '2', '2']
Submit 'Submit'
student_score2_temp ['3', '3', '3', '3', '3', '3', '3', '3']
student_score3_temp ['3', '3', '3', '3', '3', '3', '3', '3']
student_score4_temp ['4', '4', '4', '4', '4', '4', '4', '4']
student_score5_temp ['5', '5', '5', '5', '5', '5', '5', '5']
</snip>

I can't figure out what your dtml prior to the loop is trying to accomplish, however inside the loop your 'loop_counter' variable is a constant value (it does not change, so you keep referring to the same list element). You need something like:

<dtml-in expr="_.range(counter)">
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('student_score1', student_score1_temp[_['sequence-item']])">

The _['sequence-item'] will contain the current iteration result of your _.range(counter) statement.

Better yet, do this in a python script (way easier).
