Hi, I’m attempting to build an app that will allow for users to input information (such as a question) into spreadsheet and then view the other information on the spreadsheet. So far, I’m encountering two major issues. First, it appears that with the new screen formatting, I cannot set the dimensions of a label to fit contents or fill container. Since information added may vary in size, does anyone know of a way to make sure the label that retrieves it’s text from the spreadsheet is sized correctly, so that it displays all the text but is not unnecessarily large? Second, I can’t currently find a way to set the screen to scroll, so that all the information can be viewed by scrolling vertically. How might I accomplish this? If these features are unavailable with the beta drag and drop system, is there a way to convert my project back to the old system without losing the significant amount of work I’ve put in (regarding naming elements and the code for them, redesigning I could work with) I would appreciate any ideas, and thank you in advance for your help ---

The lack of scrolling is one of the features listed as missing from the new drag-and-drop interface: > [@Drag And Drop Running List of Issues and Bugs](https://community.thunkable.com/t/drag-and-drop-running-list-of-issues-and-bugs/1007063): > > @domhnallohanlon, I’ve run into several bug/features of the drag and drop setting. Layout not even close [image] Here are shots of my drag-and-drop designer screen and the Web Live Test, Responsive Web App, and Android Live Test Screens. In particular notice the size and placement of the GREEN label is different for all 3 displays and NONE are anything like the designer. Create and Clone blocks missing from Any Component o… Personally, I find the layout tools too limited for my purposes and I continue to use the legacy interface. I hope I can soon switch to the new interface but it needs to be a little more on par with the old one. No, unfortunately you cannot switch from legacy to drag-and-drop nor from drag-and-drop to legacy. ---
