Since a few days I suddenly face the following error (web, live test and mobile apps): Label text changes are no longer persistent after navigation to other screens and coming back. The label receives the initial content again, as specified in the designer. Simple example: Screen1: initial Text on Label1: “initial”. When click on Button1: Change Label-Text to “Changed”, navigate to Screen2. When click on Button2 in Screen2: Navigate back to Screen 1. After that procedure, Label1 is surprisingly reset to “initial”. This is causing a lot of trouble in my apps. Any fellow sufferers? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/f/d/fd12bfe62ec6c8111a1f4ae4a131d180f7f2a742.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/2/3/2348dd5d521d7c72a92798a6a6e08625144e4b3a.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/e/8/e8b25ff8a67c2d4572271898d10388556c2b2418.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/c/0caad374fd393006a3bd4b0e0ea7608f36d338a8.png) Result in Screen 1 after the Test: Label1 is back on text “initial”. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/f/7/f74fcfebc193d31463e328977cffab3a3f65cdd2.png) ---

@migo, Great illustration of the problem. Sounds a lot like [Multiple issues since yesterday. Anyone else? - #13 by 83c4d26aa4d240](http://community.thunkable.com/t/multiple-issues-since-yesterday-anyone-else/1047954/13) Have you reached out to the thunkable staff using the chatbot on the design page? ---

No, not yet. Will try and link this conversation. Yes, and came simultaneously with [New version of Thunkable Live for iOS and Android: Is anyone else having sudden problems besides me?](http://community.thunkable.com/t/new-version-of-thunkable-live-for-ios-and-android-is-anyone-else-having-sudden-problems-besides-me/1043882) ---

Hey @migo! 👋 We checked into this for you (seemed strange to us too) and it turns out that the behaviour you’re describing is actually the expected behaviour in the platform. > [@migo](#): > > Since a few days I suddenly face the following This was interesting too - so we tested on an old instance from December and it behaved the same way too. Wondering if you might have (unintentionally) changed something in your project? Aside from that - can you let me know what you’re trying to do and we’ll figure out a way to get ti working for you in your project. Thanks. ---

Hey @domhnallohanlon ! Thanks for your investigation on this case! In the meantime I was in contact with @jane via the chatbot. She wrote me what you already mentioned here, that this is the expected behavior - except when the screens would be used in a navigator. That’s the case with my app: the calling screen with the labels is part of a Bottom\_Tab\_Navigator. Then, yesterday, there was a surprise: suddenly the label values in my app were back to the desired (changed) state after the screen change. (Again, without a change in the app). I immediately wrote to Jane and asked her if she had done anything yet. She is still investigating this case. This made me curious and I added a navigator to the test app for this case (see articles above) and documented the following results: _Scenario: labels are changed in screen 1, then Screen 2 is called, then back to screen 1:_ 1. If both screens are outside the navigator: Labels are reset to initial values. 2. If screen 1 is inside a navigator and screen 2 is outside (that’s how it is in my case): The label values in screen 1 are kept. 3. If screen 2 is inside a navigator and screen 1 is outside: The labels are reset to the initial values. 4. If both screens are inside the navigator: The label values in screen 1 are kept. From my point of view, it would be correct if the values are actually kept in all cases. Maybe you guys can reconsider this. However, we have a working solution for current and future cases. The only worry: no one really knows why the behavior had changed for a few days in between. I cross all available fingers that this does not happen again 😅! ---

This is hardly to answer without more description, screenshots, blocks. Can you share more details? ---

This doesn’t sound like exactly what you’re seeing, @faris, but for others who might find this topic later… I did have a problem with labels and other components not holding the new value. It turns out that you cannot have duplicate component names in a project. I’m not sure why this is because every component has a unique ID number but it’s not possible to have two labels named “Title” or two buttons named “Back” etc. I submitted a feature request for this but for the time being, I’m just including an abbreviation of the screen name so if I have title label on a screen called Intro Page, I just name the label “Title ip”. ---
