What happened to List Relations? List relations are showing the number of items instead of the image and title.

Weird bug, does that happen also on your phone or that’s « just » a builder glitch ?

List relation will always show just the item count, right?

If you want to use images & titles, I believe you’re looking for inline lists?

It also shows this on my phone.

Was it always like this? I had been using list relations like that for a while now.

I didn’t see any issues until today.

Oops I agree, I initially thought that you were speaking about inline lists…

I am referring to both. The last time I was in the app, I had the option to use images and titles with list relations. Was there an update that changed this?

I’m not quite sure if there’s a recent change, personally I have never used list relations.

List relations will always show the number of items. Use Relation if you want to show details about a related item.

Maybe something changed to make it more consistent, but I could have sworn that a List Relation always functioned like an inlist list if you only had 1 item (as far as how it displayed the title and description of that single item instead of a count) and directly opened the details of that single item. Only if you had multiple related rows, would it then show the number of items instead and take you to an intermediary list. I’m 99% sure it acted very differently when only 1 row was found in a multiple relation vs multiple rows found. I’ve never been a big fan of the Relation and List Relation components since they’ve been largely ignored compared to the inline list so I’ve never used them much.

Same…  
But, I think I prefer the new behaviour.

I would agree as far as consistency, but I’m sure it’s jarring to those that use it and have to make app changes to fix it. Just looking through old posts to make sure I’m correct about the old behavior. Found these posts so far, which seem to align with current posts.

> When using a List Relation that contains a single item, you can choose and show the Title, Detail and Image data for the item. But when there are multiple items all of that is replaced with “XX items”, and no image is possible. That is understandable, since the row data applies to the individual item, not the list of items. However, when this occurs there are two enhancements that would be nice: Have the ability to change “Items” to a custom string (ie. “12 Players” vs. “12 items”) Have t…

> Inline list is what i use most often. It’s just that…a list of items that can be viewed as a list, a compact list, as tiles, as a map, etc. The List Relation is different in that if there are multiple items, it will just show on one line, the number of items. When you click on it, it then opens into a list. If there is only 1 item in a List Relation, then will open directly into the details of that item. Here is a screenshot of an inline list on top and a list relation below that. Both of …
