This tutorial will recreate the Spinner using two methods: in one, a List Viewer will be used. In the other, a List Viewer plus a Button will be used. Method 1 has fewer Layout components. Method 2 is more suited to displaying the currently selected item at the top of the list, and as such would be more suitable for a longer list.

You’re close. I’ll see if I can make a demo for you.

I used the new drag-and-drop interface to make that demo. You could just as easily make it in the older legacy interface.

You need to load the content of the Airtable column “Name” to a variable other than “Namelist”.

You are checking if “Namelist” is having 1 item which will not be because it has the contents of the column in Airtable table.
