Hello Thunkers.  
I have a couple of questions:  
I would like to know if there is any way to guarantee that what is seen in the “preview” of our app project on the computer

corresponds to what appears later when we run the thunkable application on the mobile. The other question is if you can get the Data Viewer List to have a longer line of text.

Hello @similar2similar  
If you see a feature that appears differently on web and on mobile please report them and we will share them with the engineers.

Do you have an issue with the slider component?  
Could you please share the options you have selected on the slider component?

To have a longer text you will need to create a new Custom Data Viewer Layout and set the text height to “fit contents”.

Hi, Ioannis.  
As you can see, this two pictures are not the same, but I am not talking about the slider, but about the behaviour of the Custom Data Viewer Layout component. I´m working with STP instead of D&D. Maybe  
I´ll try
