Connect Database to Lists

I cannot connect a database to a list. This seems like a no-brainer feature. Am I doing something wrong?

Dustin, do you mean a dropdown list? If so, you must remember to drag a Dataset that holds the content for the dropdown onto the screen, set its properties (collection), Then, on the dropdown, you can select this dataset to feed the dropdown. Hope this helps.

Giri Zano, I’m not sure what a “dropdown list” is… I was referring the list widget, similar to the gallery widget.

You mean the Table component, the $w(“#table1”) thing as described here https://www.wix.com/code/reference/$w.Table.html ?

Not a table, a list.

Sorry for the confusion. The list component is not (yet?) databound, it seems, so you can´t use it in Wix code. A couple of months ago Wix revealed that it was working on a new one, that will be databound. In the mean time, you will have to do with the table or the gallery.
