Hi All,

I have read all the information available, but I still can’t figure out how to make the following work. When my screen opens I pull back data from Firebase and populate and then clone each ‘tile’

 ![IMG_1632](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/f/3/f360ce029f7f58369ff2dfd988b74c9131089e4d.jpeg)

So I have several tiles on my screen after cloning, and what I’d like to do is capture label 3 in a variable block once the ‘More’ Button on that tile is clicked,

Does anybody have blocks that would be able to assist me with this?

Something like this should work for you @jacob1:

By using the “Any Component” blocks in Thunkable, you are able to clone entire rows or columns of content. But what if you then want to change some of the components within the row or column? Design Usually you can leave the precise details of your design until the end, but in this case you need to know what components will be…

Thank you Domhnall, very helpful tutorial, I managed to get this done by evening out my Label to button ratio to make it easier pattern-wise
