Right now, your “if” block condition results in either an alert being shown or nothing happening (setting a text input block’s value to it’s value does nothing). Instead, change the value of a label or text input to something you’ll recognize like “j=text input” and “j≠text input”. Then you can preview and see where the program is getting stuck or whether it’s evaluating the if/else condition as true or false.
