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…

Hi @Steven , Thank you for this! It appears this isn’t working either, it’s not returning any results at all now? Is there anything else I can provide which might make it easier to narrow down?

If you post more screenshots, someone can probably help you figure out why it isn’t working. Did you try the code @Steven posted as is (e.g. in a separate screen or project)? Did that work?

Hi @tatiang , this is the code I have now tried which isn’t populating the other list at all. I’ve also included a screen recording: [Annotation 2020-01-21 153205] [ezgif.com-video-to-gif (1)] As you can see in the above video, the items that I click are not populating the list below at all… Idea…

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 …

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.] [shopping list demo] [Screen Shot 2020-01-21 at 9.40.26 AM]

Hi!

You’ll need to create another list which you store (as a variable for example) and when a user selects an item you add it to that list. I think you want something like this:
