System Information
Operating system: Linux-5.13.0-48-generic-x86_64-with-glibc2.31 64 Bits
Graphics card: Mesa DRI Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600 (HSW GT2) Intel Open Source Technology Center 4.5 (Core Profile) Mesa 21.2.6

Blender Version
Broken: version: 3.2.0, branch: master, commit date: 2022-06-08 10:22, hash: e05e1e3691
Worked: (newest version of Blender that worked as expected)

Short description of error

I can place an instance of an object at each index but how can I replace each instance with it's corresponding numerical index value? (Is this just an over site?)

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

My goal is to show the numerical index value and where it's located at/on an object (for faces/edges/vertices) using geometry nodes.

Example: Instead of showing cylinders have it display the corresponding index value.

My thought process was to:

Convert each numerical index to a string and
Place that string at it's corresponding index location. But ran into an issue at the start with converting the index value to a string. (Is this an over site?)

Note: The goal is to do this in Geometry Nodes. Is this even possible without using a loop (which GN doesn't have yet)?

I also tried this:

Sorry, can you explain if there is a bug involved here?

Because if this is a request for general support, the bugtracker is not the right place to post this.

That's why I posted it I'm not really sure, hence me asking if this was an over site with the index node.

Hi, I don't think this is a bug. value to string node do not accept field input (circular socket).
So you will only be able to display single value with current node setup at every instance point.
Feel free to comment if there is any misunderstanding from my end.
