Hello, I just came to know about **button list** in alert component. 🤔 How should I set up a list as : - Day1 - Session1 - Day1 - Session2 - Day1 - Session3 - Day1 - Session4 - Day1 - Session5 - Day1 - Session6 - Day1 - Session7 - Day1 - Session8 Thanks in advance! 😄 ---

Hi @kartik_old, This isn’t really a spinner-like component, it just shows three different buttons on the screen: ![Screenshot_20190723-110911](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/6/2/628423442fd26af4af5b6512a9216db7ec818e52.jpeg) You set it up by typing in the button text you want and then click “Add” ![45](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/a/2/a2a62f392bb4a8a4438aaa5ffa5a18cdbd24068b.png) ---

Hello there, @domhnallohanlon Thanks for your Reply… I added my 8 buttons, but the alert is showing only 3 in a column-like structure… means button1 at first, button2 at the middle, button3 at the bottommost. other buttons are not showing… Thanks! ---

If you want more than three options then you’ll probably have to use the ListViewer component - perhaps you can put it on its own screen to make it more prominent. ---

You could design your own alert? @actech helped me with making something invisible on absolute positioning using percentages and making it 0. You could design your own alert. Of course this isn’t a real alert but hey it would work. ---

You guys inspired me to create this guy. This sets a variable which controls dynamic content seen on most pages of the app. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/3/c/3c66833590b1c44afd2a5190314dc0f34630e42b.gif) A pop up column with 10 “buttons” to choose from. > [@domhnallohanlon](#): > > you’ll probably have to use the ListViewer component - perhaps you can put it on its own screen to make it more prominent If you keep providing these great ideas, I’ll keep making examples to share! #teamworkmakesthedreamwork ---
