I saw a post where @david said this: “Remember that most components won’t show if their connected column is empty.” Can you tell us what those component types are that will show no matter if they are empty or not?

Well I’ll be damned. You learn something everyday. I hadn’t realized that you could put an editable component on a display screen. And that you would be able to edit and change the content without going to a separate edit screen. Where the hell have I been 🙄
