I just downloaded LC8 DP15 to start understanding the IDE in 8. I am trying to build some simple stacks from scratch just to see how the IDE differs (if at all) One of the things I tried is to drag a data grid to the card and inspect it. My next step would be to paste in tab delimited text as content but I can't seem to find a "Content" tab or field anywhere in the inspector. The other objects (fields, tables, etc) have a "Content" field on the "Basic Tab" you can paste into(1 line showing isn't great, however)The datagrid inspector doesn't seem to have this.

I assume this is just a user misunderstanding on my part but I would be grateful if someone can point me to how to do this.

Hi Jay,
LC 8, as you know, is still in development. I reported the missing items in the PI to LC QC awhile ago. See the link below.

Hi Jay,

1. welcome to the forum!

2. The LC inspector in LC 8 is still simply missing any settings for datagrids!
So it is not your fault.

You could create a stack with a datagrid with version 6 or 7 and then open that stack
in LC 8, if you want to avoid to set up everything via script directly in LC 8!
