I think that most readers of this topic overlooked the importance of your reply because I myself did just that! Was looking for a way to add a Listener for dynamic named cloud variables and saw these two posts that have since been closed that did not have solutions:

> [@Listener for dynamic named cloud variable](https://community.thunkable.com/t/listener-for-dynamic-named-cloud-variable/1989314):
>
> I have looked but am unable to find out how to listen to a dynamic named variable stored in a firebase to enable peer-to-peer communication.

> [@How to create a cloud variable listener for a sub-bucket?](https://community.thunkable.com/t/how-to-create-a-cloud-variable-listener-for-a-sub-bucket/2140238/5):

> hi it turns out that I have already tried with a timer but it flashes the dvl corresponding to the bucket that I am monitoring in your second proposal, what bothers me is that my buckets are created dynamically and are used interchangeably and I do not see in the block above how to have it modified so that it corresponds to the modified bucket I had to leave all my energy on the clones pensive

So I meditated on what @drted had shared in this topic and figured I’d try the Realtime DB Add Listener block to see if it would work and it did. Then I saw your reply all the way at the bottom of this topic afterwards when I wanted to give @drted credit for this discovery that I just discovered that you had already beat me to (after a couple hours of almost giving up). Here are the screenshots of my example:

This is so valuable for me since only Cloud variables synchronize across different screens of the app with variable listeners. Listeners for dynamically named Cloud variables and sub-buckets makes it even better. PEace
