Hi @muneer, I was kind of hoping I was on the right track but I have encountered an error inserting a green row ID block.

What does this mean? See below:

Why was the “ **AirlData\_Viewer\_List3’s Subtitle for** ” OK but not the “ **AirlData\_Viewer\_List3’s Title for** ” ?

Is it related to my “ **initialize app variable** ” blocks?

Andos.

Green blocks should never be used outside of their parent blocks.

See this code.

It loops through the DVL to show the matching records and hide the others.

> It says here Empty Text

@muneer I requested this feature. I wanted a way to change the “No data” message that appears if the data source is empty.

Hi @muneer, is there not a way of doing this without using the “ **Item Click** ” block? I do not want to click on any of the items in the list as it intended to be a “ **read-only** ” list.

Use a loop in the `Screen Opens` to loop through the records and change whatever you want to change.

Hi @muneer, great news! That has fixed it.

Here is my solution:

That’s great.

Do you need the `get row object` block for anything within this context?

You don’t seem to use it in the loop so you might get rid of it and this will make the change of color instant.

Hi @muneer, for some reason I found that the instruction from the “get row object” seemed to make it work. I’m not sure why though.
