hi aryan, i have used a similar feature in one of my previous projects. I initialized a variable named (my shopping item, in this case flower) to 0. when the + button is pressed for the flower item, it changes the number of flowers by 1. while the minus button does the opposite. it will call an alert if the item amount is already 5 (you can change it to however many you want) and will call an alert if the item amount is already 0. ![Screen Shot 2024-09-12 at 5.49.10 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/3/e/3e590f7ebb61fe9f5a242246fb8610549b05edfa.jpeg) ![Screen Shot 2024-09-12 at 6.00.58 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/0/008a54515d245851adce742b033bf204fa8ff035.jpeg) if you would like me to explain more, please feel free to ask me. my pleasure to help. ---

forgot to mention, it call an alert if the item amount is 0 and the + button is pressed to just make sure the user wants to buy it. you can remove it if you want ---

Do you know how to make a drop down list in thunkable free? ---

a simple list component is needed with it stating all the items inside of it. now what you want to do is when simple list item click, display item (do it however you want, either by setting a label’s text, displaying an image or both). then using what i have explained earlier with the incrementing and decrementing feature display a button to do this feature which will allow the item amount to increase or decrease hope this is what you are looking for! ---

and the code to make the drop down list is, when button pressed, set simple list visible to true and when item click, set the simple list visible to false. you can alter this to your needs ---
