Hello PA_Community!
I could use help with this critical bug.

Essentially I built a warning screen, which pops up and has the save button on this screen!

This works perfectly, however, when the user selects to save there is a slight delay before the warning screen disappears and this allows the user to click the save button again.

This result is a bunch of duplicates being made!

Please help! how can I stop this????

The warning screen is a component with behaviour type buttons on them

Make your warning screen a popup within the screen the save button is contained.
I have previously used a "popup" item which is just a group that contains an image with part transparency and an animation to emulate a loading screen this is all stored on the same screen the save button is located.
set the Visible property of the "warning screen" to something like:

showPopup

the onvisible of the screen should contain the following to ensure the "warning screen" isn't visible when the app starts:

UpdateContext({showPopup: false});

on the save button should be setup like this:

UpdateContext({showPopup: true});

*insert you method of saving here;

UpdateContext({showPopup: false});

*if needed insert navigation here;

this makes the warning screen immediately cover the screen, preventing buttons from being pressed until the save has been completed and once complete hides the warning screen.
