Hi iOS Thunkers,

There is indeed a way to add an item to your List View. It’s a bit different than on Android (which uses “elements / from string”); on iOS, the property is called “textitems” and we’ve added some block instructions to our docs and in the figure below:

Where do you find the “Set listview to” block?
