Hello, I was able to set this up with the simple list block function. I am trying to sort out how to do it with Data Viewer List function as i believe this will give me better function for updating and adding content in the future. Attached is a picture of what I could do with the simple list function.
This is the closest i have gotten with Data List Viewer but the function does not work.
The goal is to use a google sheet for the table where i will be able to add topics at any point in the list when needed and having them sorted in alphabetical order is important. So i would preferer not to have to completely re enter the list components in the format that you have to do with a simple list.

Hi @macalbus.mav9fvck welcome to Thunkable.
The reason your code is not working is because the green row I’d block returns a number rather than a string.
If you change the checks to check for the correct number (row I’d) it should work

Another way of doing this would be if `get value` from row id [green row id] = “Sedation” do…

I have tried this configuration, however, it doesn’t execute. Any ideas?

Yes, you need to debug the code. The way you to do that is to first check the values you are getting. So I would assign a label’s text to the `get value` block in the screenshot above. When you click on the item in the Data Viewer List (DVL), what does the label show? Is it showing “Cardiac Arrest” or something else?
Because when I look at your local data source, you entered “Cardiac arrest”. That’s not the same as “Cardiac Arrest” so it’s not going to match.

Hi @macalbus.mav9fvck ,
the red text label should contain “Cardiac arrest”, not “Cardiac Arrest”. I tried it and it works 🙂

Another way to do this would be to make sure the screen names **exactly** match the DVL item choices (the values from the data source) which would only require this set of blocks:
Because that is going to literally go to the screen named [clicked item].

Are you asking me or @Michael_Rogulla? What isn’t working for you?
