I saw relevant posts marked as solved. However, i can not seem to make this work. I assume i have different settings. so on the home screen i inserted a data viewer list, which is basically a table of the topics in the app. My data source is google sheet (a table of two columns). What i want is quite simple: when clicke on item 1 it should navigate me to the screen pertaining to item 1. I tried “when\_data\_viewer\_list item click \> do navigate to: and chose the corresponding screen i wish to navigate to” block but i got navigated to the same screen regardless of the item clicked. I believe “row id” is the key in this context. But how to get it and assign it to each block?

any help is much appreciated.

You would have to do something like this where a field/label in your DVLcould match a specific text label

thank you for your help!  
i am not sure where you got these green block from… i assume, based on their color, from the logic? but these operations are not listed in the logic core… are they custom made?  
how did you create them?

Mine is a custom DVL so may be slightly different

Found a standard DVL (not custom) only difference is the names are random generated numbers.
