This app has really lost a lot of functionality, making complex apps is almost impossible due to the fact that you cant do things as basic as setting the position of an object. Ex. You cant put a block here which makes objects almost completely useless You cant change the color of things in the list viewer There is no to number I think that the api needs a complete overhaul of features ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/6/d/6d7bbca8a8d272645e1a5a39fec521725a27df02.png) ---

Hi @DT.Shorty, welcome to the Thunkable Community 👋 The property here would be for the objects you are working with. Depending on whether you created it yourself or if you are working with an API then the properties names will already be known to you in advance. What are you trying to use this block for? ---

You should be able to put a text box there… Ex: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/5/c/5c6b9c664ba33a24943315cfab136221d215c335.png) ---

We completely agree. It’s not at the top of our priority list, but it will get done at some point. ---
