Hi, due to the initialization of variable it is only possible to create app variables, and storage or cloud variables. All of them are global to the app. But what, if I want to create local variables (e.g. help variables) inside a function. I do not mean the parameters, they are local. I mean addi…

Where is this block from Thunkable classic gone to x.thunkable? Or is there a workaround for x.thunkable? [44]

Hi, I have long made the request for these blocks, but no information about when they will appear, or if they appear at all I do not have. As a workaround, you can do this: call the function block parameters prefixed with _ (as it was done in Javascript before the let declarations), and when the f…

When teaching this to students I cannot use a workaround like yours, because they cannot initialize local variables within the function block. But for teaching computer science in a class it …

@domhnallohanlon , you caught me! :joy: :sweat_smile: Since App Variables make the Platform lag, I requested for local variables :smile: If app variables can improve, there’s no need of local variables for me :smile: Thanks! :blush:

Thanks for clarifying @kartik14 . As mentioned above, we’re keen to keep improving the platform but at this stage have to prioritise the features that are preventing users from completing their projects. If the absence of a component/property is not blocking users from building their app then it ge…
