Hello,  
I’m working to clone row to obtain a dynamic list but I do not understand how assign values to labels. My original labels are numer 6 and 8 so how I can assign a value to one label and the other to the other?  
Many thanks  
Andrea

Are you working from this tutorial @Andrea_Marchisio?

> [@Changing properties of cloned components (DIY Advanced Listviewer)](http://community.thunkable.com/t/changing-properties-of-cloned-components/153213):

> We’re working hard to bring you the [Extended Listviewer](https://docs.thunkable.com/release-notes#coming-soon-to-thunkable) component to make developing your app even faster, but in the meantime here’s a DIY approach. By using the “Any Component” blocks in Thunkable, you are able to clone entire rows or columns of content. But what if you then want to change some of the components within the row or column? Design Usually you can leave the precise details of your design until the end, but in this case you need to know what components will be…

This should give you some insight into how to approach the problem.

Hello Domhhnall,  
I tried to use the same procedure described in the follow post:

### How to Display a List of Data in a Custom List Viewer (by Cloning)

[http://community.thunkable.com/t/changing-properties-of-cloned-components/153213/2](http://community.thunkable.com/t/changing-properties-of-cloned-components/153213/2)

In this case the row is cloned and the each label data is changed in own row.  
The clone procedure works fine but I don’t understand what are the label cloned name.  
is it the right way to create dynamic lists? (based on Airtable in my case) or there are different way?

Andrea

each component has it’s own unique ID, so when you clone a component it will be referenced by it’s device-readable ID (as opposed to a human-readable name like “label1”)

All you need to do is identify that pattern that you data follow, so for example the first label is a heading and the second is a description and this pattern is repeated in each clone. Once you’ve identified this pattern you can then store your data anywhere you like, or indeed pull data from an API or RSS feed.

Hi, @Andrea_Marchisio! 👋

Do you want to do something like this? -

- You have a base row, with two labels in it. Let’s call them **A** & **B**.
- You want to clone the row (automatically the labels inside them will also clone), as per the number of rows in Airtable.
- Next, you want to change the text of labels **A** & **B** of some cloned row.

Thanks! 😊

exactly that … now I’m using AirTable but with Firebase it’s the same.

The classic dynamic list from a database 😉  
on the other hand, how would you create dynamic lists based on a database?

Thanks  
Andrea
