Hi,

I was just watching the Xano-Thunkable Yelp Style demo video and on one of the screens there is a block called - Set List\_Viewer - text items,

 ![2023-09-08 14 53 16](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/d/0/d08a0732819b85ffc5d8d3dea84bb4b5a9c89eb2.png)

but when I add the block I don’t get this option.

![2023-09-08 15 13 35](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/6/a/6ae126e8d0070b0347e23feb8f926b6ea16a6d42.png)

Where would I find it?

Thanks  
Steve

A list viewer is not the same as a data viewer list. The wording is confusing and it complicates things that list viewers are now called simple lists.

Simple lists (aka list viewers) can display lists of text and have a “text items” property.

Data Viewer Lists can display layouts and need to be synced to a data source.

It appears that you added a Data Viewer List but then expected it to function as a Simple List.
