Can a component set a global variable ?

Posted on by NewDev 19

From a component I'm trying to set a global variable but it doesn't seem to get set. I'm using a simple Set(myvar, "myval"). Is there any special syntax to be used? Is setting a global variable from within a component even possible?

    Variables within components exist only within the component instance.

    If you need that value in your App, you will need the component to have an output property that provides the variable value.
