Hello, I a record type variable that I set to a record that has several fields and I call that variable in another screen by accessing the respective fields:

Set(variableRecord, ThisItemA)

variableRecord.fieldA1

the problem is when I reuse the variable with another set of fields and then everything in the first screen stopped working

Set(variableRecord.ThisItemB)

variableRecord.fieldB1

I already tried using Set(variableRecord,Blank()) but it didn't work.

Hi @Igorod ,

Try using Context Variables

UpdateContext{{variableRecord: ThisItemA})

You can have the same name set on different screens and they are actually separate variables.

Hi @WarrenBelz , thank you for your time and help. I came around with a solution that solved my problem. My fault that I forgot to mention that this variable is set with a value from different sources and uses it in the same (view) screen.
The workaround I came up with is Filtering dataset b so that it retrieves the record from dataset a and therefore eliminating conflicts in the view screen.
Finally I had to enforce the first record because the filter returns a collection (although in my case the filter always returns an unique record) and I was getting some type errors.
Set(variableRecord, ThisItem.itemA)
and in the other call
Set(variableRecord, First(Filter(sourceA, FieldA=ThisItem.itemB)))
and now in the view screen I can call variableRecord.field1, variableRecord.field2 ... no matter from where I make the call.
Once again, thank you very much for your time and help.
