I have a slider that starts at 0 when the user first opens that screen. When they navigate to the next screen, I can tell that the value from that slider was saved (to a stored variable). However, when they navigate back to the screen with the slider, it always starts at 0 again.

How can I set it up so that the slider remains where it was set? Thanks for any help.

Below are my blocks for Page 1 (with the slider) and Page 2.

Try this:

Or for better performance, you might just set the slider value when the user navigates away from the screen with the slider. That way, it’s not constantly having to save every time they move the slider.
