I’m having trouble understanding why this isn’t working. The button5 component at the bottom is just me debugging to make sure I’m seeing the correct width. I’ve tried putting a list component in front of the purple all text input component too Thanks for any help ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/c/d/cdfc54e74e501d6ad1217e1b10a35cdc42d01fb0.png) ---

This is logically incorrect. The green `text_input` expects a single component but you are passing it a list of components which will not work. The same is true for setting the `width` property of the component. It is expecting a single value not a list and certainly not a list of a list. ---

Ok so how would I edit all the widths of all of inputs? In the end it’s not a list of a list, it’s properly getting a single value of the largest width of all the inputs. ---

Did you try this method? I am getting no result from this. ---

K I did some testing, all my text inputs are in rows first. I had to do a loop within a loop first but it’s working now. ---
