To create a custom list, instead of using one of the pre-made list components, build a screen by dragging in the list option from the simple components 

1. Click on the list, then select 'Components' and 'Add Components'
2. Drag in and position new components
3. Change all of the elements of the list to dynamic (using [Magic Text](https://help.adalo.com/~/revisions/kmzOxqjy7C9sXGVjDKKb/component-basics/inserting-dynamic-text))
