Create list by using variable declared earlier

Can I use variable into create list?

Right now I am maintaining variable, and create list is exact string in different format.

I want to reduce the work by maintain just one variable.

How can I rework this line @{list} Create List [email protected] [email protected]

*** Variables ***
${RECIPIENTS-TO}                [email protected];[email protected]

*** Test Cases ***
Add email recipient

    @{list}   Create List    [email protected]   [email protected]
    FOR     ${EMAIL}    IN      @{list}
        Wait Until Page Contains        ${EMAIL}
    END

I am not sure if I understand your question correctly but why do not you declare your list in the variable table.

*** Variables ***
@{RECIPIENTS-TO}                [email protected]    [email protected]

Regarding this:

Can I use variable into create list?

the answer is yes. Any variable can be passed as a list element to Create List keyword, but mind that ${RECIPIENTS-TO} will mean one element with a value of [email protected];[email protected].

If you want to convert ${RECIPIENTS-TO} [email protected];[email protected] to a list you could use the Evaluate keyword for splitting by the ; character like below:

*** Variables ***
${RECIPIENTS-TO}                [email protected];[email protected]

*** Test Cases ***
Add email recipient
    @{list}   Evaluate    "${RECIPIENTS-TO}".split(';')
    FOR     ${EMAIL}    IN      @{list}
        Log        ${EMAIL}
    END

enter image description here

You can do the same using the Split String keyword form the String library as well.
