I assume that means both screens are working correctly.

**Edit:** oh wait, I do see that Screen1 joins the existing label value to the label’s text but Screen2 does not. So yes, there’s something broken there.

One of the labels has a persistent value across screens and the other does not. Neither one _should_ have a persistent value. It does the same thing on my iPhone 11 in Thunkable Live. I can’t explain this.
