Is there no way (or plans for a way?) to create certain procedures globally? There are global components (the databases, for example), and I have code to extract a certain set of rows from the database that will get used on several screens. But as far as I can tell, I can’t put that code into a shared procedure? Or, failing that, a global variable? ---

You can use the local storage component as a global variable across your application. Longer term, we are looking at making variables global across the app (instead of per screen) in the future. We don’t have plans for global procedures yet - sorry for the repetitive code. ---
