I am getting list of string as API response body but when I try to put it in a list viewer by iterating each element it just shows empty rows but doesn’t show string/text API response body is : **[“One”, “Two”, “Three”, “Four”, “Five”]** ![Screen Shot 2020-08-22 at 4.01.56 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/6/f/6f79fc95a2623cc979d168b3f21003e85b8acc64.png) ---
