Hello, This is my first post on the glide community forum (hopefully of many fruitful discussions!) I’m wondering how I can remove the image placeholder from the item data in my list? I don’t see any option to do so. More generally, how can I configure the types of properties that exist in a list? -Paul ---

upload an empty PNG or just don’t use the image in the list ---

There should be a checkbox that you can uncheck: “Automatically generate image when empty” or something like that. ---

thanks for getting back Uzo. When I do that, I still get an empty image placeholder, as I mentioned above. Like this: ![550082DF-59AB-4241-848A-8C3F3A6166B5_4_5005_c](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/f/1/f1e78371b9115e8b9279a0f957aa30f63c47bc52.jpeg) How do I get rid of the placeholder? ---

But wouldn’t that just determine whether I get an autogenerated image vs an empty image? I’m trying to get rid of that component completely, not have an empty image. ---

I think there actually was no placeholder in the beggining, when there was no image selected ("or it was set to “-”). The problem is that I selected an image at some point, and now I can’t unselect it. There is no “-” option to switch back to… ---

If you don’t wanna use an image, just do not select any… ![Screen Shot 2022-10-23 at 4.15.56 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/1/f/1f502c0e141503986d2568b176c26a1945243203.png) click the first option “-” ---

Right. The only list you can’t do this with is tiles style. With Tiles you HAVE to select an image. ---

Thanks Uzo. But I’m not seeing that option in my dropdown list. Did you try selecting an image and then changing it back to being blank? Because when I am setting up a new component from scratch, I have that option. But once I set the image to something even temporarily, that option is gone. ![325562B6-D0C1-42E0-B157-298B2B5B290B_4_5005_c](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/1/8/188a2881a941f03314f85ea88f912a836660c705.jpeg) ---

Here is a screenshot of the full control panel. I believe this is called an inline list. I have a top-level list of products, and after clicking into the product details, I want to show a list of ingredients based on a one-to-many relation between products and ingredients. As soon as I create the collection, it auto-fills the image to be “ingredient”, and there is no option to set it to “-”. ![53F6041D-A869-4F40-A6FB-2F559B812E2C_4_5005_c](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/4/b/4bca9ff1e9a8b5dae0bfd281685735ed4c1dc28c.jpeg) ---

Select ‘From URL’ but don’t enter a url. ---

Yes, thank you! Seems very simple now, but not very obvious since the other options from the dropdown don’t have a default empty value. Thanks again! ---
