How do you get data to show in the DetailsList?

[arpost1]

Greetings! I want to show data from a collection in the new DetailList component, but no matter what I do, I can't data or columns to show up. I've read all the guides I can find, but I still can't get data to show. Anyone have an idea/direction?

My collection has the columns "Title" and "Value".

Hi @arpost1,
Let's say you had a collection that was initialized as :

ClearCollect(colItems, {Title:"row 1",Value:"value 1"},{Title:"row 2",Value:"value 2"});

There are 3 steps to get data to show up in the Fluent DetailsList:

1. Set the Items collection to colItems

2. Add the Title and Value columns using the Edit link below the Items dataset in the Control Properties side panel:
   
   This would result in the the fields panel looking similar to:
   

3. Set the columns dataset to be something similar to:

Table({ColName:"Title",ColDisplayName:"Title",ColWidth:200},{ColName:"Value",ColDisplayName:"Value",ColWidth:200})

I suspect that maybe step 2 is the one that you are missing?

Hope this helps!
Scott
