Instead of “generate…” block use “get properties of object” block. ---

Is it that simple?? What should I put in the “property name” block? ---

I\*ve tried “Items” and userID, but it still gives me “null” ![Screenshot 2021-04-14 at 11.55.13](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/8/3/8320e8f7061283fdbc672bb1c49dd268776bdb48.png) ![Screenshot 2021-04-14 at 11.54.51](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/3/5/359a0b69c5b899270fd19591cf9bdbbb1f84db71.png) Thanks ---

ok, I got one specific property to show 👍 But I want ALL properties to show, in vertical row…hm…any tips? ![Screenshot 2021-04-14 at 12.12.42](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/d/0d8aec8cce27fa519074fafde127b6c43f170533.png) ![Screenshot 2021-04-14 at 12.12.49](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/0/00bf6302b882118ee8fdca57a3ecd76ba3027966.png) ---

Use this one to show all properties in a form of a list ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/5/9/5930f159bd3072e776aaf584c646f967a78c48ff.png) ---

Thanks, I actually had a look at this but I didn’t (don’t) understand how to use it. I can’t use it instead of the “Get property of object”- block, It won’t “fit”. I can put it as a property, but how will I finish this code? What should I put on the other side (right)? The docs for this plock is very limited in showing what you can do with it, and how. I’ve tried to put a string in there, and different list-blocks, but it is greyed-out and wont “klick”. ---

That block returns a list. ---

Add a List Viewer to your screen and use this block to be the source of your list. ---

Does this looks right to you? ![Screenshot 2021-04-14 at 12.50.50](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/a/7/a759ef5e6e5f7e8bf5226959526e0c882274da39.png) ---

No. You don’t need “get property of object”. Remove it. It should be [List\_Viewer1’s text items to [get object properties of] [value]] ---

This worked (kind of) ![Screenshot 2021-04-14 at 12.55.53](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/4/9/49db23803d23e95acf499613a7cd894f40c66c99.png) The only thing is that it gives me the “userIDs”, not the items. ![Screenshot 2021-04-14 at 12.57.13](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/6/a/6a7a986e9e33f610db41902d53ff27d6cb402abf.png) ---

Because you removed “user id” from the get block. Use this to return what’s underneath it ![IMG_20210414_135942](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/1/a/1ae23871c01ac9a1e0d7cc36b377b8eb81a58979.png) ---

Exactly, I saw that… Now it works. I can see all the items in there. You earn a BIG medal! And a huge THANKS!! 🙏🏆 Without you I wouldn’t fix this (At this early state that I am at). There is not much documentation about these kind of things (not what I could find at least), so I really hope this thread could be to use for other newbies out there! And Muneer, Big thanks! 😊 ![Screenshot 2021-04-14 at 12.59.10](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/9/9/99a2190941c88490142e29b849193e155189722a.png) (Now it’s just a matter of shaping up the layout a bit 😊 ---
