Hi All, I just wanted to make sure I’m not missing anything. I’ve set up a local data source and have a data list viewer mapped to it. I’ve selected the Image+title+subtitle+text setup for the DLV, however the text does not appear. The column it’s pulling from is not empty, and when I switch it to the column the title references, it still does not display the text. Am I missing something? Any help here. You can see in the images. Thanks in advance! ![DLVsetup](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/2/4/245779db865f0fac4cedc54199186d827766ccee.png) ![DLVreal](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/1/7/176be4df6264836fcf8c334b8b4cac4b88059922.png) ---

This is the same for me when trying to replicate the setup. It seems like that specific layout is the only one with an issue showing values. @ngossiump, As a means to come up with a workaround, maybe you could try making a custom data viewer list layout that is a mock-up of the one you want? ---

If you live test on the Thunkable Live app does it show up on your phone? I can take a look but it would be helpful to know if it was isolated to web apps. ---

Thank you for the reply, DuMonster. I actually started with a custom layout, but it didn’t preserve layout I derived it from. I actually posted about it here: [Custom Data Viewer Layout Not Rendering Like Source - Thunkable Discuss - Community](http://community.thunkable.com/t/custom-data-viewer-layout-not-rendering-like-source/970833). Thanks for the reply! ---

Hi Steven. I downloaded the app, and it does, in fact, render. This must be a web app issue. However, there are a few odd things with the Android app. v First, when I view the mobile app, some logic doesn’t work correctly, like it does in the web app. I hide the data list viewer if it’s empty and display a label that says click the + to add an item. It always displays this label. When I try and go back to my list of project, then view the same app I just left again, it hangs at the Thunkable screen until I force close and reopen. Doesn’t seem as reliable. Thanks for the help with this though! ---

Thanks for following up. I’ll take a look at it. It should be something we can fix. I’ll report back once I have an idea of what is going wrong and how long it will take to address. ---

@ngossiump Ah, sorry I read the rest of your message and made a mental note to respond to that as well but apparently my mental notes aren’t reliable. I would be happy to take a look at your project (you can DM me to share privately) if you’re willing to share to determine what the issue might be. If not I totally understand, but I’ll need you to describe the issue in a little more detail. Maybe a screenshot of the blocks you’re using so I can recreate them? For your white screen issue, I believe we have an internal bug report on that and it is being working on. Sorry for the inconvenience! Hopefully we can get it fixed soon. ---
