Hi guys! Is it possible for 2 blocks to work simultaneously? Because apparently I want to set a label’s text to the other label’s text and do vice versa. But since I think the order is from top to down it set the other label text to the first one. heres an image: ![Screen Shot 2024-09-04 at 5.53.12 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/c/0/c0407068eed171dcf051e4fdf8e841fe1158caa5.jpeg) See, Label\_ TOP’s text will be set to Label\_BOTTOM’s text, however, because the action is done before the next, I’m basically setting Label\_BOTTOM’s text to itself, however, I want it so it can do these 2 actions simultaneously. Thanks! ---

Hello @ant_1 you can’t do it simultaneously however you can still store one label it’s value in a variable and then set the bottom labels text to that variable. ---

I explained a way to do this in your [other topic](https://community.thunkable.com/t/set-button-text-to-component-doesnt-work/3174717/4) and gave you a screenshot of the blocks needed. Why are you starting a new topic for this? ---

Hi tatiang, apparently this is another issue and you have provided me with a solution for a different issue than this one. this one is about the switch language buttons while the other one is about a set button’s text to “…”. I have not asked anything about 2 blocks working simultaneously. ---

It’s the same issue. The solution I provided shows how to swap values, just like you’re trying to do. If you Google _how to swap variable values_ you’ll see that in pretty much any programming language you need to use a temporary variable. ---
