Only now I realized that its possible to apply Increment Action not only to buttons or Images but also for Lists. Seems very useful, because it understand which individual item I tap and increment only this item. But these “Math icons” ruined UI design(( ![IMG_3132.PNG](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/c/c62c39d3497998c3865998bd9de1cee53e3497e2.jpeg) ---

Agree, I faced this problem in some of my apps and had to add a blank field to hide it. ---

Can you please explain in details, how to remove these math icons? ---

I added a blank template column with the empty character from here: [https://emptycharacter.com/](https://emptycharacter.com/) Then add that blank template as a field in the list. Can you verify if it works for you? ---

So even if I display in Title and Details fields of list only text, Math icons still remains. Also your method does not help as well( ---

No I mean you should add a completely blank template column in your data using the empty character, then probably used it as your details source value. ---

I did it. Doesnt work. Reason not in the displayed data but in Action - Increment! ---

The only way I could figure out how to do it is to use the List style layout instead of the Compact List style layout. Then make sure there is a column value in the Title, Details and Caption of the list. Is that what you were talking about @ThinhDinh? Adding an empty character column in the caption so the main image shifts to the right side and hides the math icon? ---

Yes, I know that icons hide in a List Layout with Caption (even without template with empty symbols). But its need to be fixed by Glide team, otherwice compact list with increment became useless ---

Ah yes, I did mean to say list because he was referring to list in the title but the screenshot was compact.
