Thank you for help…  
I would be grateful if you could tell me how to use it in my project. I tried to import it as a custom component but it failed. I want to use it within a form to fill in customer data.

I don’t think that’s a custom component. I however do have one you can use.

I made the variable and store the options (i added more than 3 options) … when testing there’s just 3 options appear … is there a way to make it a scrollable menu?

The item will be a part of form that customers fill informations in , and there’s a button to create row … i want to put the selected item in the form by (when Button click).

I don’t know why it does that on web preview, but it works on the phone. Do you have the Thunkable live app on your phone?

Reload the webpage and hover over the component to see if there’s an update I was still playing around with it when I first sent it.

It works for me and I have over 50 items.

I tried it as well with your exact blocks and only get 3 options. Webviewer shows 3,4,5, mobile shows 1,2,3.

That’s interesting I can’t scroll on web viewer, but I can scroll on the app. If I have time, I’ll try to see if I can fix that but that might be a Thunkable component thing and not me.
