Hi All,

I asked Chatgpt this question but can’t figure out this bit of the solution

When [Data\_List\_Viewer].Item\_Click:  
\*\*\*\*do [add [get property of item] to list [SelectedItems]]

_In Thunkable, how can I populate multiple text boxes on one screen with multiple data selections chosen from a different screen using data list viewer._

1. Add Selected Item to List:

- Go to the List drawer in the Blocks section.
- Drag the block “add item to list [list]” into the “do” section of the Data List Viewer item click event.
- Set the list to `SelectedItems`.
- From the Data List Viewer drawer, drag the block that returns the selected item (usually named “get property of item”).
- Use this block to specify the item to add.

Here’s how the complete block setup will look:

When [Data\_List\_Viewer].Item\_Click:  
**do [add [get property of item] to list [SelectedItems]]**

I am trying to add selections from scree " Skill Selection" into the text box on screen “Skills Tracker”

 ![Skill_selection](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/d/b/db902f5fbb276f2d469ea55fef11b3be9ca53444.png)  
 ![Skills Tracker](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/9/7/97d6835b79d18aa82f0e76b8303925ce2a7ffc79.png)

Can anybody help me out?

Thanks  
Ray

Just store the data in variables and on the other screen get the values ​​again.
