Hi there,

I’m using a list view as a custom menu item. Looks great on mobile, but on tablet/desktop view, it would be nice to pre-select the first item so it’s not just a blank screen on first load. Possible? Or ideas for workarounds?

TIA 🙂

Unfortunately that’s the default.  
What if you use detail screen instead of inline list then you will see the list in one screen instead of two.

Thanks, that’s what I thought but checking with the experts here to be sure!

Definitely using detailed screen for the main page, but it doesn’t look as good for desktop view as the inline lists.

Ya…what you’re experiencing is expected behavior. Not ideal, but it’s not a bug.
