Yes, you are correct, they should work like that, it's just the apps I've 
worked on have all been one at a time. Don't waste time trying my suggestion.

Maybe, if you de-normalise your data to have one row with the data for the 2 
labels? That is, instead of

row 1: label1

row 2: label2

row 3: label3

row 4: label4

you have:

row 1: label1, label2

row 2: label3, label4

just another WAG while I distract myself from some Flutter/Dart training I'm 
doing :)
