As code ,button1 clone for each dayname .After cloning process we get a screen show dayname in each clone button. I want to check from my data, if button.text=‘TUE’ we’ll do something or if button.text=‘WED’ we’ll do something. ---

When you `clone` a button or any other component, you are placing the _cloned_ component in a _container_. This container could be one of three options (screen, row, column) You can then use the list of available buttons in that _container_ to manage the components. This example is taking the text of the 3rd button in the column and displaying it in a label. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/5/b/5ba059831cb6eb92e0e4b23168e13d8a09f47cd1.png) ---
