Hi Everyone. This is my first no-code project. Here’s my issue. I am trying to set up a list to display the results of Airtable table that that has view set up. My table structure is flat. nothing fancy. When I attempt to bind a value to text box, I have no problem. Everything works as expected When I try to bind the same collection to a list a get a few errors:

1. When I bind the ‘Item’ to the collection, an extra text box appears in each row. After I bind, I cannot delete the text box. I need to prevent this form happening.

2. The list item does not iterate through the list. I only see the first value and not any of the additional ones.

One the data side, I believe everything is OK. I think is a problem with the configuration of the list element. I do not understand how to configure this (or overide any pre sets that are causing me problems)

How can I fix this?
