Hi all!

I am trying to set up a friend requests feature. I am almost there, but when I try to create an action [Create new Request], I am only seeing [Logged in user] as an option. I need the Current User to show up as well, so that  
the [Logged in user] can send a request to the [Current user].

I am following the steps as in this video, but still I am not able to select [Current User]. (Start at 02:25, that’s where i get stuck) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ag5jdSNmeyA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ag5jdSNmeyA)

Could you please help me out and take a look at what is going wrong here? Please find a cloneable link here: [MealMatch Copy](https://previewer.adalo.com/0d4374f8-8936-42bb-8020-809c157c772f)

Hi @youriadaloaccount,

Welcome to the community 🥳

The problem is you are using a simple list and for this you need a custom list!

What you are using :

What you need :

So delete the simple list and add a custom list and then add the icons inside the list! In the first video Patrick adds this : [Friend Requests Function in Adalo: Part 1 - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fxvi3WbXSk&t=185s)

Thank you
