Cant get live objects to display live items text

live objects wont display text only showing
liveobject:anvil.tables.row instead of the name of the live object

That’s by design. You have to tell Anvil what to display for that table row by putting a label into the row template and then using data binding to set the text attribute for that label to an item in the row, e.g. self.item['fieldname']

still displays the same as first picture


want it to display these as text

If the particular field is a linking field, your data binding has to include the field for the linked table, too, e.g. self.item['Employee']['fieldFromEmployeeTable']

You’re trying to get to a single field, rather than a row, so keep going until your last key is a single field.
