Hi everyone,
I’m building a data display app with a list page and a detail page. When a user selects an item on the list, the detail page should show a large number of different properties. — Over 100 fields.
Currently, I’m using blocks like:
set Label_A’s Text to get property “property_a” of object app variable ItemObject
set Label_B’s Text to get property “property_b” of object app variable ItemObject
…
However, as I add more blocks for each property, my project is becoming noticeably slower to edit and manage in Thunkable. The Blocks editor lags and sometimes even freezes, making development difficult.
Questions:
- Is there a more efficient or scalable way to display many different data properties on a single screen?
- Can I use functions or lists/loops in Thunkable to reduce block clutter?
- Any best practices or examples for managing this kind of layout in Thunkable?
Any tips, sample projects, or block screenshots would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
You should use a custom Data Viewer List if possible.
Thanks~
Since the Data Viewer List displays all rows from a Google Sheet by default, is there any way to use it to display only a specific row (for example, the row that the user just selected on the list page), instead of displaying all rows?
If it can display only a specific row, how should I set it up? Are there any relevant examples or tutorials?
Yes, you can use a data source filter.
Hi, thanks for your suggestion about using the Data Source Filter and the “update filter for” block.
I did check the data source filter, but the “update filter for” block shown there is different from what I see in my Thunkable Builder.
In my workspace, the block is just update filter for [Data Viewer List] without any place to set conditions (like where ID = ...).
Here is what I set:
Is this a limitation of the free/builder plan?
Or is there something I’m missing to enable condition-based filtering via blocks?
Thanks again for your help!
