Unfortunately, functions are not “global” so they are limited to a single screen. Thunkable needs to be a little more flexible and that’s one way it could be improved. That feature request has been made in the past but it wouldn’t hurt to make it again at [Feature Requests - Community](https://community.thunkable.com/c/thunkable/feature-requests/84)

There are some suggestions for workarounds here: [Creating a function usable across screens](https://community.thunkable.com/t/creating-a-function-usable-across-screens/1765645)
