When I select items from color list viewer, that particular item get removed from the list. I want that only selected item remain in list and other gets removed. Also, whenever i select an item the list viewer closes, i need to click again to see all the color.

If you want the selected color to replace the entire list, then `set app variable color list to list [item]`. You’ll need the `list [1, 2, 3]` block for that.

Instead of this block:

 ![eec7f9ea71d2464b3b0257212014a91677b9d0d9](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/9/0/90414d0bb1f0cd78142d7a09a7711625fba70af0.png)

Use this:

This is the list block I used:

So instead of removing the selected color from the list, the selected color will now be the **only** item in the list.
