I have a help icon and a help label with some text. By default I would like the label to not be visible. When the help icon is clicked if the label isn't visible I would like it to be set to visible and the label is visible clicking on the icon should hide it, toggling the visibility. I have tried to follow these steps but once the label appears clicking the icon doesn't hide it, and also the label doesn't get hidden by default.

One workaround is to have two icons. One that hides and one that shows the label. Obviously only ever showing one so for example

On Click property:

Icon 1 - Set(IconVisible, false); Set(LabelVisible, true)
Icon 2 - Set(IconVisible, true); Set(LabelVisible, false)

Visible Property:

Icon1 - IconVisible

Icon2 - IconVisible

Label - LabelVisible

This is a great idea @phipps0218 , I have done the above now but I am wondering how do I set the initial values of these variables? I have added the following to the screen OnVisible and the App OnStart but all of the objects are still not showing, I am guessing due to the variable being set to "no value" by default?

Set(IconVisible, true); Set(LabelVisible, false)

Never mind, I found the Run OnStart button in the App triple dot menu. Thank you
