Here is the link to my project: [https://x.thunkable.com/copy/7906285449871f3d959271ebb849e8ba](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/7906285449871f3d959271ebb849e8ba) And I need to know how to navigate to the “YearGoalProgress” screen only once you enter a number in the text input on the “YearGoal” screen. I’m pretty sure I know how to make the text entered on the “YearGoalProgress” be visible on the “YearGoal” screen, however I need to make the “YearGoal” only accessible once you enter a number on the previous screen. Thank you (in advance) for the help 🙂 ---

You could add a button that navigates to the next screen and make it appear once the desired number is reached like: If number is =\> X then set button to visible. ---

Why aren’t you using an app variable that way if you wanna start from screen 2 and go to screen 1 or is at screen 9 and wanna go to any screen your text input value will be saved but in each screen you need to put under “when screen opens” and IF statement stating if “get text input” = “text block which has the value / number they have to insert when progress needs to be shown ---

Thank you very much for your quick reply! I tested your remix in the Thunkable Live app, however, when I was testing it, when I opened the screen “YearGoalProgress” screen, it did not navigate to the “YearGoal” screen, and the label where the number should show up said “null”. ---
