EDIT: ok so for some reasons the code that used to work, now is cpu intensive and needs a pause to compute and do what I ask it to I swear this code ![clone row](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/6/c/6cc8b98169e60faa7e89f08e6d8860e9d92b5264.png) was working fine just yesterday. Then i tried this ![hamburgers true](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/c/3/c3a1e1fd40c7a0ba3fa8a88337bb790f8d5cbcdb.png) followed by this ![false hamburger](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/d/4/d44555177981e43477b5349dcb0a75adfdc27f99.png) and that part went crazy and stopped working even after i put everything back to normal. I tested it and it seems that the “all - labels - in - clone” doesn’t give a list as a result. I don’t know what to do. ---

Hi I haven’t been working on my apps for the last few weeks because they haven’t been working properly either since the last Thunkable update. Search this post for more info: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/c/3/c38a95d5e9b3b64dade325f8d3c7fd9deaf47d48.png) I haven’t yet checked to see whether the problem is fixed so apologies if it is! ---

You could have linked it directly ^^ I’ll check it ---

Yes Dom, isn’t that super clever so every screen has it’s specific variable!?!? 😃 I thought that broke the app, but it’s working and it looks like that for some reason it just needed some wait time to clone the components and then work on them (it didn’t need it before) ---
