Hi all, I’m trying to develop an app similar to that of a shopping list, except the user chooses from existing items (restaurant menu items). This data is up on the airtable and that is working fine. The problem I’m having is in showing the selected items in a list. Here is an image of how I want i…

It makes sense and a screenshot and video are greatly appreciated when we’re trying to help you sort this out. While this is a minor point and not likely the cause of the issue, you’ll want to initialize your lists to empty list not item. At first glance your code looks correct… When I have a cha…

Realised I hadn’t changed the variable to an empty list so I’ve now done that however the list still doesn’t populate :confused: [Annotation 2020-01-21 160355]

Hmm, so if the code looks correct, where do I go from here? Thank you for taking a look, I really appreciate it! If needs be let me know if you want the link to the project!

There are other factors that can affect correct code blocks. As a somewhat extreme example, if you were running an endless loop (e.g. forever block) that was constantly changing/retrieving data within the same screen, that might be enough to take up all of the device memory allocated to Thunkable an…

I suspect there is something else going on in the project which is preventing it from working as expected. @tatiang is correct, looking at the project is likely the easiest way to help you. If you don’t want to share it publicly you can send it to me in a private message and I’ll take a look. As a …

You’re using app selectedList as the columnName input for your spreadsheet but it doesn’t look like you’re giving it a value (besides the invalid item block). Try setting the columnName to a text string, as I’ve done in my example. I’m actually surprised you’re able to pull any data into the top li…

Thanks for this info, weird that it isn’t working on mine! I don’t have a forever block as far as I’m aware - if you’d like to look at the project is it best to paste a link publicly here? I’m totally new to all of this as you can probably guess! The app selectedList is so that it presents data from…

Okay, that makes more sense. Again, initializing a variable to “item” doesn’t do anything and should probably be avoided. But now I see where you are assigning item to the app selectedList variable and that looks fine. Sharing a link publicly as a non-pro user is really up to you. It does draw atte…

I just noticed that you are initializing app selectedList on the item select screen. I would delete that entire block and see if it fixes things. If not, then seeing your project would give me a big-picture view of how you’ve organized things. Edit: see my response below – you may not need to delet…

So this does work for me:

[I can share the project link but without my Airtable API key and base ID, it’s not very useful to see.]
