so this is basically a way of creating a pretty cool looking list? and then being able to control how many you want to load also. damn. Developers, well done. I love it. ---

We got the solution for this too! 🥳 > [@Displaying i images for number of images. Is that possibe?](http://community.thunkable.com/t/displaying-i-images-for-number-of-images-is-that-possibe/140917): > > I believe this may be something to do with lists and images in list view, but what is the best way to display i number of images in app as of the features currently available in Thunkable X? The only solution I see here now is a list of the image links(list is in blocks, not visible on screen), then have 25 or so image components in the app and just have a select page button (set 25 image components to 1 to 25 in list, then when next page button clicked, set the first image to 26, and so on, us… ---

Haha. I will not tell you guys. This section of block mostly I don’t know how to use it (even I read docs already. ) Ofc something remove, any components block I known 🙂 ---

The duplicate feature I think is the best, by far. As you can create set layouts, and then duplicate them and change their values in Firebase. I think I have it worked out how to do this. ---

You could do get label text, and then refer this to a tag in Firebase or something, to get a value? You might be right actually. ---

For some reason, I feel like this is a feature they didn’t mean to release yet 😛 As it isn’t in [Release Notes](https://docs.thunkable.com/release-notes). ---

quick question, it is possible to create a variable without using the initialization block? ---

Yes. But not cloud or stored variables… Using the function blocks, you can create variables using them, then delete the blocks once done and continue to use the variables. This still does not fix lag for projects with thousands of blocks though… ---

Hey @sysads, You can create your own functions to do this now: > [@How to figure out which button was pressed](http://community.thunkable.com/t/how-to-figure-out-which-button-was-pressed/146235): > > Create a list The listOfButtons will be used to store all of the button components in your app. [00\_create\_list\_of\_buttons] Add buttons to your list There are a couple of ways you might do this. The first is to add each button when the screen opens. This approach will only work if your UI contains all the buttons you already need. [01\_create\_list] If however, you are creating your buttons dynamically, you can add each new button, one at a time, to the end of your listOfButtons with something… ---
