Hello my dear community

I have a problem which is a bit stupid, so I try to find a cleaver and simple solution.

I have a simple navigation bar for testing and it looks like the following:

As you can see I am trying to use SCREEN as navigation:

Well that works but I need to put the entries manually to each screen, what I like not to do because each change would be a lot of work!!!!

OR I am using INPUT/TEXT

and using a global variable:

//Set global variable as input for component
Set(varScreen1, Screen3);
 
OR  
Set(varScreen2,"Screen3")
 
The idea behind is a lot more clever because I need only to change the GLOBAL VARIABLES set in App.onStart.
But unfortunately it is not working :(
 
The other way would be to use LAUNCH() but that is not working for Screens in the App.
 
So if somebody has a working idea it would be mostly appreciate from my side.
 
Thanks in advance.
Michael

Hello my dear community

Well I found the bug or the very bad described solution as follows:

Go to the component properties and to "Access App Scope", enable it as below and it will work !!!!

That is the only way to get it working., so after that do the following:

Set the global variable in App.onStart:

//Set global variable as input for component

Set(varScreen1, Screen3);

Got to the button property in the component and add the global variable to the button.onSelect:

Navigate(varScreen1)

That way you will specify the way to make it more easy to manage navigation on multiple Screens :)

Thanks in advance for any help :)

Cheers

Michael

Hi @MD2024,
I am not sure whether you are using collection and gallery or not, if not, please try that which will reduce manual adjustment.
