Hi there, I am trying to create a details page that is navigated to from a page with a dynamic collection (source: Google Sheets for the time being). In general it works. I can pass the ID of a record as path variable and I can use that on the details page. Unfortunately I am having issues structuring the detail page. I have used the sidenav/header lay-out. With a section for the sidenav and a section for the header/content. I tried to add a div/container as main container in the header/content section, with a nested divs as header, body and footer. After that I bound the collection filtered by the url path variable to the main container. But after that I noticed that I cant place additonal element in the root of the main container. I can only add elements in the child divs. Furthermore when I bind the filtered collection to the main container, the child divs sort of disappear on the canvas, not being able to slect them and/or delete them. When I unbind the collection, all the elements are visible and editable on the canvas again. So what is best practice using data of the selected record from a previous overview page? Should I bind the filtered collection to a root element or should I bind the filtered collection more than on each seperate div that uses mapped content items as child elements, like heading, text, images etc. Can anya shed a light on this? ---

When you [bind a collection list to a container](https://docs.weweb.io/binding-filtering/binding-concept.html#binding-an-array-of-data), the first child of that container will be repeated as many times as there are items in the list you bound to the parent container. As a result, you won’t be able to add new elements in between the parent container (with the bound collection) and the child container (the repeated item). Does that help? ---

One follow up question. I tried to do the following: 1. I have a filtered collection on my detail page, called selected\_activity with filters the collection down to only on result. 2. I bind this collection to a container element 3. I want to assign child elements in that container, like Heading, Text and Images to [item.data.[property\_name] No I noticed that some child elements can be assigned as described in step 3, using edit formula, but with some other child elements I am not able to open the ‘edit formula’ pane at all. I have a workaround to not bind de filtered collection to the container element, but to assign each child element directly to the filtered collection like [selected\_activity][data][0][property name] Although this works, I unfortunately don’t understand why my setup isn’t working and why I cant open the Edit formula pane on several child elements when having the filtered collection linked to parent container element. Looking forward to a reply. ---

I’m having trouble understanding the question with text only. Would you mind recording a short video to walk us through what you’re trying to do? ---
