For what I can see it’s not possible but in the any component section are present screen names as variables and I need it but I feel it’s not possible now.

Also, a generic ‘go back’ like the android back button does would be useful as a contempt.

This is totally possible. Do you mean random screen? There is a block for navigating to any screen in your app already

On screen1 open  
Set var currentScreen =1

some action by user initiates screen changing(Using an input number (I) between 1-(#screens)

Set previousScreen = screen 1  
If i = 1  
Go to screen 1  
If i = 2  
Go to screen 2  
…  
in splash screen, create

stored Var currentScreen  
stored Var previousScreen

Yes but I’m trying to make the app as generic as possible so I can call the variables the same name of the screen and open it as the variable is changed, without having to manually insert all the ITTT blocks

I hear you. You could try the global function that @actech has shown in his example app. It’s complicated looking but really cool!
