In Blender Geometry Nodes, the shape of an input/output port on a node is important.
Circle
Represents a single value
Diamond
Represents a field of values
It may be possible to force a node that outputs a field to output a single value by adding a number to an input such as ID.

if I get this right.. adding a value to the ID field changes the output from a numeric value to a reference to whatever is stored with the id. so you can pass a set of values by having an id, even though it looks like it should only be passing a single numeric value.

How I mentally explain to myself how/why this works varies depending on the day ;)
I struggle to understand why this is not an option directly in the Random value node. Thanks for the workaround.

Thanks mate. Hope it proves useful.
Nice. So you're basically converting the datatype from an iterator to a single value.
