Hi, why in the label I get the string and in the variable no? ![Immagine1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/4/1/4148a16255a13a25f2bd33e7f733ccbd5ed9e991.jpeg) ---

Try using the old type variable. To do this, add a procedure to the screen, create a variable in it, and then delete it. A block of this variable will appear in the block palette. ---

An example of creating an old type variable. ![%D0%B8%D0%B7%D0%BE%D0%B1%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B6%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B5](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/7/4/74a012d1d5da494d89eb5865e6b6326ca5a34287.png) Does your example work with this variable? ---

At the forum, I saw messages that there are problems with global variables of the new type, so I suggested that you use the old type of variable, with which there are no problems. ---

Please note that in most cases you can use the [new cloud variables](https://docs.thunkable.com/thunkable-cross-platform/create/blocks/variables) as a replacement for the Realtime DB component and everything becomes much simpler! A just deployed fix makes the new variables much more usable. -Mark ---
