I will do a demo tomorrow to show this if I understand it correctly. Whatever you select from the `Data Viewer List` in **Screen 8** will show in the `Data Viewer List` in **Screen 1**. ---

If you can **remix** the demo project again and see if this is what you are trying to do. [https://x.thunkable.com/projectPage/6192c254d9f1c80011d2862c](https://x.thunkable.com/projectPage/6192c254d9f1c80011d2862c) ---

At the moment there is a bug in the `Data Viewer List` in DnD UI. This is why I used a `List Viewer`. See my post [https://community.thunkable.com/t/unable-to-access-data-viewer-list-sub-items/1619383/3](https://community.thunkable.com/t/unable-to-access-data-viewer-list-sub-items/1619383/3) ---

Oh okay , can u update me when its fixed or , is there any place to check updates And ps : maybe we can get the dat from data source instead of data viewer layout ? ---

I just added another table in the project and changed the list in screen 3 to read from this new table. Remix the same project link again to see the updates. **[Edit]** I deleted the project by mistake. I created a new one. You can remix using this link [https://x.thunkable.com/projectPage/61951edb1d739800123c9b92](https://x.thunkable.com/projectPage/61951edb1d739800123c9b92) ---
