How do I select which columns appear in simple list component?

I'm currently building a new default landing page, I'm trying to display specific columns in the view.  I see under the simple list properties there is a Columns field that opens the bind data page but I'm sure how to select which columns to display.

You’re very close my Friend!  😉

This part is a bit unintuitive at first.

In a Simple List component, you don’t directly “pick columns” the way you would in a classic list. The columns that display are determined by what fields are included in the data resource you bind to the Columns property.

That means:

  • The Bind data to Columns setting expects an array of column definitions coming from the data resource

  • If you’re using a lookup (for example, lookup_up_records), the fields available are whatever that data resource is configured to return

To control which columns appear, you have two supported options:

  1. Modify the data resource to include only the fields you want displayed

  2. Create a custom data resource or transform that maps specific fields (e.g., number, short_description, state) into the column structure expected by the Simple List

Simply binding results or row_data will show whatever the resource returns — there isn’t a per-column toggle in the Simple List properties themselves.

Once the data resource is scoped correctly, the Simple List will render only those columns.

Hope that helps clarify how it works!
