How to create a list with flexible entries on your Unity UI
Learn how to build a scrollable UI list in Unity where each entry dynamically adjusts its height based on its content. This is super useful for quest lists, upgrade lists and much, much more.
We’ll combine Scroll Views, Layout Groups, Content Size Fitters, and Layout Elements to create a flexible and reliable system that does not require any custom workarounds to work.
Starting from a single entry, you’ll see how text wrapping, preferred sizes, and child size control work together inside slightly more complex UI hierarchies.
