I've been fiddling around with containers trying to get a layout like this. A single vertical container gets me the scrolling I want but not the column layout show below. I can use a regular container and get the layout but I don't get the scrolling. Is there some way to achieve what I am looking to do? I am considering using a form since I think that will get me both but is that a proper usage of forms?

Hi @futr_vision ,

Put a two Horizontal and a Vertical container inside your Vertical Container. You will need to turn off Flexible Height on all (and set it manually) and turn Vertical Overflow to Scrolling on the "Parent".

Thanks. Is there a way to snap the height of the container to the bottom of the last label?

You could reference the bottom container in the Height

LastContainer.Y + LastContainer.Height

Figured out you can actually achieve this with a single horizontal container inside of a vertical container. Set the horizontal container to wrap. Too achieve the two columns I set the width of the labels to Parent.Width/2. To achieve a row that spanned the entire width it was simple Parent.Width. Then to get the container to expand I added a blank label and set its Y value to LastLabel.Y+Lastlabel.Height. Seems to work. Probably will break in other formats but this should always be used on a desktop or laptop so I should be good.
