What is work around for selecting multiple items from data viewer list.

I did see couple of post which talked about checkbox but those workarounds are deleted or not available now. Can someone please post some screenshot or guide me.

I have list of 75 list items and I want user to customize their list from the 75 list items.

The only way I know to do that is to use cloned components and the Any Component blocks. It’s a lot of work but it will save you time in the long run.

You can see examples of this at [Clone a Row in a column](https://community.thunkable.com/t/clone-a-row-in-a-column/1294066) and the documentation at ["Any Component" Blocks - Thunkable Docs](https://docs.thunkable.com/blocks/advanced-app-features/any-component-blocks).

I am trying something like this, with two simple data view lists. Is this possible with data view list? What do you think of this approach
