I seem to be having an issue passing a set variable between items on different screens. Here are the steps that produce my issue (with pics):

I have a link in a menu on one screen (Tab 3 below) that, when selected, will navigate to another screen (Tab 1 below) with a gallery, and select the item from Tab 3 in that gallery; the gallery is an SP list and the linked item below is an item in that list. The intent is the user clicks the link and doesn't have to search or scroll for it in the gallery on Tab 1.

Variable passing issue step 1

I have the following code for the OnSelect of that particular value, "L-454" in this case:

Set(QSelectValue,LocalValue.Text);...several additional actions...;Navigate(Tab1Scrn)

2. Tab 1 shows this:

Note the random floating label (for process verification) about the middle whose Text value is set to:

QSelectValue

It made the most sense to pass the QSelectValue to the search box above the list on the left so that when the search box is cleared, the user can still search for labor values from my SP list. I've set the search box's Default value to:

If(QSelectValue="","",QSelectValue)

I have the Clear value of the search box set to true.

3. At this point, when I hit the clear button of the search box, I get my SP list (as expected):

4. Now, when I go back to the Sites tab (Tab 3 above) and click on the same "L-454" label, I get the screenshot above. It is not passing the QSelectValue to the search box, no matter how many times I go back and click on "L-454". However, if I click on a site in the Sites tab (tab 3 above) that has a different "L-" label, the QSelectValue passes through to the search box as expected. What am I doing wrong?
