For loop in Shopify not working over number 9

I’m having an issue with a for loop in Shopify. I’m sure it used to work, but I can’t get it to work over the number 9 now.

{% assign productTag1 = Availability14 %} (in this example, the product has only 1 tag, which is Availability14)
{% assign avail_stop = false %}
      {% for j in (0..15) %}
        {% assign check_avail = 'Availability' | append:j %}
        {% if productTag1 contains check_avail %}
            {% assign avail_stop = true %}
            {% capture tag_name %}{{check_avail}}{% endcapture %}
            {% break %}
        {% endif %}
      {% endfor %}
      {% if avail_stop %}
        {% assign availability = check_avail | remove:'Availability' | plus:0 %}
      {% endif %}

At the moment, I’m returning 1, not 14. I imagine it’s something to do with the fact 14 includes a 1, but I can’t wrap my head around it.

Any help is appreciated.

    You have a {% break %} statement in your if. Once the if becomes true it will exit the loop instantly.

    If you want to skip the next code you must use {% continue %} not {% break %}.

    On my mind this is an issue with conditional operator. As you said, 14 contains 1, so why not simply use strict conditional operator like this:

    {% if productTag1 == check_avail %}
    {% assign has_stop = true %}
    {% break %}
{% endif %}

    (or did I miss something?)
