Hi Guys,

I have created a view basically a tab in my navigation bar which users source from Comments table.

The Label name for the tab is now Comments with a logo as shown in blue circled mark in screenshot below

 ![Screenshot 2024-04-26 at 8.52.17 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/d/f/df3c5c6a002df0855be1e4e07e62eb2fcc92916e.jpeg)

I have a column called Comments template in the table which give me test “Comment” and the Count of comments **EX: Comments (2)** if the comments are 2

Is there a way I can add this in the label? **Whats shown within the white circled region**

So that I can show the Nme and count in navigation bar?

Thank you guys.

Regards,  
Dilip

The only workaround that I can think of would be to hide all tabs from the navigation menu, and instead use something like a cards collection on a “home” screen as a navigation menu. You could then have dynamic content for the card labels.

Hi Darren,

Thank you for your reply.

That’s a great workaround. I will try that and let you know. Depends mostly on my designer approving it 🙂
