Hi, I wanted to renew the list in my application and display it in the component: Data Viewer List, unfortunately I couldn’t do that because this component only supports the table and not the list, Can you add an option that the components: Data Viewer List and Data Viewer Grid also work with a standard list and not just a table? It can help me a lot! (I don’t really like working with tables) ---

Good day @point I did it ussing a local db to save those values and show them in the data list viewer. > [@How to use New Data Viewer as an Extended Listviewer](http://community.thunkable.com/t/how-to-use-new-data-viewer-as-an-extended-listviewer/565050): > > Hello, With the new feature that was just released, i was wondering the way of using that as an Extended Listviewer. In my proyect, i have a list of objects, and i want to show every object of that list as an extended listviewer. There are some great tutos of doing it using “clone” functionality, but as i have said, now the graphical aspect is created in the Data Viewer, but i cannot chose other sources appart from Google Sheets, Airtable or LocalDB. Any ideas? Thanks in advance! Regards. ---

Hi, thanks for the advice. But in my opinion this is a very long and complicated way, is there a way to do it without using the table at all? (I want it to be possible to just enter the list and that’s it) ---

I tried several options, and none of them went through. At the end is just to save the row id in a stored variable and evetytime that you enter in that screen you remove the previous data and create a new list of data in the local db. Anyway, if you get something that works let me know. ---
