Hello everyone,

I’m trying to create a dynamic list from an API response in the **Drag and Drop interface**.

My plan is to loop through my data and, for each item, create a new Label component to display a title. I am successfully using the **`create`** block from the `Advanced` → `Any Component` category inside a `for each` loop.

The **`create`** block gives me a green **`component`** variable in its `then do` section, which represents the new Label.

**My problem is:** I cannot find the correct block to change the **`Text`** property of this new `component`. I have looked for a block like `set Text of component...` but I can’t find one that works with the dynamic `component` variable.

**My question is:** What is the correct way to set the `Text` (and other properties like `Color`, `FontSize`) of a component that has just been created with the `create` block?

Here is a screenshot of my blocks. How can I modify the new green `component`?  
Thanks in advance for your help!

There’s an example in the Any Component documentation for a button’s text but you can apply the same set up for a label’s text, etc.
