Hi @michabbb I think you need to create your own custom list view, there are 2 ways

1. overwrite all of the list blade
2. choose your custom list inside your selected CrudController

The first way, you can achieve with this

// open your terminal and slap this code 
php artisan backpack:publish crud/list

after that you can start to do what you want, you can start to manipulate that file to achieve what you need
here's the reference: https://backpackforlaravel.com/docs/6.x/crud-operation-list-entries#how-to-overwrite-1

The second way you can achieve just with this line

$this->crud->setListView('path.to.your.view');

Put that code inside your setupListOperation, after that just copy the backpack list.blade in vendor/backpack/crud/src/resources/views/crud/list.blade.php and start to modify it
here's the reference: https://backpackforlaravel.com/docs/6.x/crud-api#custom-views

I would say to choose the second way because I think you need just for a few pages, I hope you get this idea.

If you want i can try to create the custom view and back with the updates here, do you have example data, so I can use it to try to make the custom view😉

Cheers.

you can try laravel sushi to make a "fake model"

it is from the creator of livewire

Indeed. You can use Sushi. We use it in DevTools and it's great, highly recommend.

As @christmex said would also work, but I think it will be waaaaay more work than using Sushi.

Thanks @ziming 🙏

If you need any help please let us know, but it should be very straightforward to use, I am not aware of something special you need to keep in mind.
