I am using the job board template to practice before I add things to my app… Everything seemed simple enough until I wanted to add a list inside of each board.

Basically I have a job board list working fine. Inside each of the boards I have another list. I can get the list to display as a string of values “option\_a, option\_b, option\_c” etc all next to each other. Or I can display the first option in each array, but I want them in separate boxes, just like the boards themselves.  
I attached an image, hopefully it makes sense to you.

Is this possible? if so, could I get some direction please? I cant figure it out.

Thank you.

thanks for that. Unfortunately I dont understand this, nor can I get it to work following along. I know he says you can do a list within a list but doesnt show it and when I follow along with the same settings and I get to do the bind on the text I actually dont have anything to bind. There is no data shown.

Talks about needing an endpoint to make it dynamic, which i would need for the real app as there would be over 100 values, but doesnt go into anymore detail. Im still a beginner and I dont understand how or why this would work for a list within a list.  
☹
