What is `Modules` in the `Item View` component, when should I add what component to this list?

[Justus]

- which kind of components could be added to this list?
- what the meaning if I add a component to this list?

These are Item View Modules. Please check the documentation for more information:

Item View - Opsive

Item Views are used to display an Item in the UI. Item Views can easily be setup using UI Designer Item View tab Item Views . . .

opsive.com

By default The ItemView will fetch the ItemViewModules on the same gameobject but sometimes you might want to reference some modules on other gameobjects. Or the order might matter (usually it does not). That's when you would use this list

so by default I don't need to add new module to this list if I didn't write custom script to fetch info from them right?
- If I added a `Select View` to this Item View should I add it to Modules list?
any specific example about when I need to add them to the list?

 

[Sangemdoko]

You only have to add modules to the list when the module is not on the same gameobject.

If I added a `Select View` to this Item View should I add it to Modules list?

No you don't have to, it will be picked up automatically if it is on the same gameobject as the ItemView

any specific example about when I need to add them to the list?

Nothing in specific, just when you want to organize your view in multiple parts instead of having all the modules on the same gameobject

I see! if I add item view modules component to any child node, I need add it's reference to this module list.
Thanks for your clarification.
