Is there a way to update a list created by cloned items? ![1607267032667](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/4/4/440e8de0d6131cf9ec3fd9ad3a242a2f3f638714.jpeg) For the first time after running the app it works fine, but when it goes to another screen, changes data in realtimedb (length of vList3 is changing), and comes back I can’t see changes because items of the list are been cloned at the first visit and never removed. So maybe is there some workaround? ---

Solved this by adding a second container (CHECKED\_GRID2) with a child (CHECKED\_CELL2). Then I cloned a child from the first container to the second one and removed a child from the second container. After that, I just remove all rows from the second container and do cloning again with new data. Interestingly, but initially, I was trying just to clone a child to the second container (without having a child there) and remove nothing because I didn’t have an original child in the container. But it didn’t workout because it didn’t populate values after that! ---
