Hi @ray.hearnevgk, welcome to Thunkable! 🎉

Be sure to check out our posts about [How to ask Great Questions v2.0](https://community.thunkable.com/t/how-to-ask-great-questions-v2-0/2689983/1) and our [Community Guidelines](https://community.thunkable.com/t/community-guidelines/78/8) as you get started.

I think the basic idea here would be to save whatever data you want from the item clicked to a variable. Then, on the other screen, set the label’s text to the variable (or property of the object from the variable if you are grabbing the entire row of data).
