Hello friends. I’ve searched Google, searched the forums, searched Reddit (no results), and watched many videos. Non-the-less I can’t seem to figure out why my Local DB data viewer wont update until I close the app and reopen it. I saw that someone else had the same problem but it was from June 2020. I’ve tried everything and it doesn’t seem to adjust. I tried the live test and even tried the APK download to see if it was a communication error or something else. I am new at this (literally my first project on here) and not sure where else to look for answers. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’m training to become a Behavioral Therapist and this app is supposed to be for my mentor and myself so that we can help people when they are at home without contact with us. Problem: Data Viewer List (Local DB) wont update when I save a new note or delete an old one. The functions work, they just wont display until I exit the app and reload. I will attach a screencap of my blocks on the data viewer page. Let me know if there is anything else that would help. P.S. Strangely enough, I had it working at one point but then something changed and now it wont. ![My Notes Screencap Blocks](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/a/2/a2e85c695e277e200ead98122e65e7bae3523ff2.jpeg) Thank you in advance. ---

What happens if you swipe left on a data\_viewer\_list1 item and _then_ refresh the data viewer list data? Does that row’s item disappear from the displayed data? ---

@tatiang Actually, when I swiped left and then pulled down to refresh, it worked. The screen reflected the changes. It added the notes I saved to the view list. ---

That’s good to know. Try adding a Refresh Data block to the delete row’s `do` section. And see if that works without the need for a manual pull-down refresh. ---

Late reply; it did in fact work. When I added the block to refresh it updates upon delete. Now I just need to add that function to creating a new note on the other page! Thank you for the help. Unrelated question if you know the answer… Do I have to be a paid subscription to unlock columns and wrapping text input boxes? In any case, thank you for the help on my project! ---

You’re welcome. And nope, having a Pro membership won’t affect that. The basic membership isn’t really any different as far as most blocks are concerned. You just get more features and publishing options. ---
