[Solved] Local Data Source for Data List Viewer Results in Empty Top Three Rows

I’m putting in data with blocks, pulling from airtable. There’s a very specific reason I’m doing it this way, I have to basically generate a user table on demand and doing it in a local source is by far the best way, but it appears that the local source has three blank rows by default. It looks like I can delete them from the original table and then clear out my cache and storage and then it’s gone.

Developers if you’re listening, we really need a way to delete rows and get the row IDs easily for local sources.

Here’s how you do it:

Click on your local data source:

Remove all your rows, there will still be a blank one showing after you remove all you can, but don’t worry, it’s not a real row with an ID until you type something:

Then manage the table with blocks and make sure to store a list of the row IDs as after you create a row there’s currently no way (that I could find) to get it’s ID again.

Here’s an app you can play with to see how the local data sources work:
