    Do you mean when you add controls, you don't see them appear when opening the app in play mode (live)?

     

    Make sure to save your app first, and then publish in order to see the changes you've made in the editor in the app.

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    You can't add sections from play mode. This functionality is only meant for developments.

     

    Or what are you trying to do? Depending on the case there might be a way to achieve something like this.

    Well, I would use a collection containing all the data that is linked to a gallery. If you create an item in the collection, it will show in the gallery. 

     

    On top create a text input in which you will describe your task and next to it a button (or icon) 'ADD'. Underneath create a gallery, in which you can put a label (or a text input if you want to edit it afterwards) and other controls if necessary.

    When something is written in the text input and you press 'ADD', collect the task to the collection (see image). Assign the collection to the items property of the gallery.

     

    Of course, I suppose there will be some kind of backend to this app, so you can link the collection to that or instead of the collection directly work onto the database, which is basically the same.
