Okay, wasn’t able to find this answer already posted on. I am running a local storage call to creat a single list item with 2 connected bits of text. For instance user writes _Text 1_ and the _Text 2_ An I am trying to get it to appear as a single list items _Text 1 Text 2_ but what seems to happen is it shows up on the list viewer as  
_T  
E  
X  
T  
1  
T  
E  
X  
T  
2_

Not sure how to go about rectifying this.

can you share the blocks you use to do this?

How do you create the list when you save items?

if you put a text string into a list viewer, this is how it comes out unless you denote some way to ‘listify’ your list of items. usually this is done with a comma.

you might want to try using this block. put your text into this but you’ll need to know what delimiter you used.

What’s a delimiter?  
It’s the thing that tells your app, “Hey, here’s another list item”.

The Local Storage with the Call Save is on a separate page. The user will click a save button to return them to the previous page where I am hoping to Call Get the stored Name and Date Input.  
I am now just getting a single line _null_ which I do suppose is change 🤣

If in two separate items of the list, try the steps below -

Instead of this ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/d/0d8e16233de383452a85617db706290137139446.png), just attach the ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/1/5/15c87823e1ac43590a3fb492c3926221f2ea2c37.png) block to `set text items block`.

Thanks! 😊

Okay, So I am now getting all my text on one line YAY!! Thank you guys!

I would like to separate the text so it is _Text1 Text2_ while it currently is Text1Text2

If I use a delimiter like below my screen goes white.

Hi, @huntermclarkn! 👋

Do you want the Text and Date to appear on separate lines in the listviewer?

I think you missed my reply above, it’s perfect then.

When you save the values, save them as a list. Or as a single text string with a comma in between the separate items.

Hi everyone,  
I want to show one text item from the list viewer combining two texts or value.  
If the delimiter is set to the nextline block. The next line can’t show in the list viewer.

Your text doesn’t have a comma (",") as a delimiter.

Are you trying to use a local data source that looks like this:

1000  
2000  
3000  
4000

And make it into a listviewer that looks like this?

You Que Number 1000  
You Que Number 2000  
You Que Number 3000  
You Que Number 4000

If that’s what you’re trying to do, these blocks should work:

Taiang,

yes that what i want but i did not find local db in that block only from airtable.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/1/7/1771cb029f89ad236cf5ee3d2bc326fa2c9d5a6c.png)

for structure system, i stored user detail in local db then the number become unique id. so when it click the number other information will display in other page. here the block.
