The problem: I have a screen where 8 different lists can be shown, with a visible/invisible switch (app variables true/false) when navigating from another screen. It worked perfectly up until a few days ago. I did not change anything to the lists or the variables and checked them - they function normally and in web preview everything still works fine. However, when I uploaded the app to the AppStore to try it out in TestFlight (as I had done successfully 9 times before), all of a sudden the lists did not appear anymore. Same when I published in Web Preview and Live Test. The app itself is a bit bloated now, 56MB and 12 screens - can that be the reason for the lists not appearing anymore? ---

Hello @peterroxv6 Could you please share more information about the list? For example, could you please share a screenshot of the blocks you set these variables? Do you use the list viewer component? ---

Hello Ioannis, Yes, of course! here are three screen shots: one of the Opening of the scree, which decides which list is to be visible; another (“Age Groups”) that gets its list items from a Local Table and the last one (“Locations”) that has items from Airtable. As I said, it all works perfectly and used to do so until a few days ago - the eery thing is, I haven’t changed anything on that screen, but made the app multilingual i.e. added a local table with 8 different languages for buttons and labels - and then it started to act up but only when published; in Thunkable’s Web Preview everything is normal. ![Screen Shot 2023-04-29 at 08.40.01](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/8/d/8d9dd6dd085622887dc084cad6e1966318c7c0cc.png) ![Screen Shot 2023-04-29 at 08.39.05](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/f/1/f1b2f81f5c010351f2217ef79cd424b5737b2a34.png) ![Screen Shot 2023-04-29 at 08.37.40](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/2/3/235f57477ef62c0ccd92dd83be729769a40b6523.png) ---

Hello Ioannis, The function “SetScreenLanguage” seems to be the culprit. I had removed it before but that did not change anything - today however, it made all the difference. Still strange since the same routine works fine it the other screens. I put the routine in a separate “When Screen Opens” and everything works. This is the routine, where based on a stored variable the corresponding text is retrieved from the row corresponding to the chosen language. Sorry to have bothered you and thank you for your time, Peter ![Screen Shot 2023-04-29 at 10.47.41](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/3/1/3174af07af27876bcf9781d358a7c687f274d47c.png) ---

Hello @peterroxv6 Thank you for providing all the necessary information. I am happy to support you. Could you please try the solution suggested in this post using the Get Row Object block?

Thanks a lot Ioannis. For now, all works fine again with the language setting in a separate “When Screen Opens” Block, but I am going to try this out. Have a great weekend! Peter ---
