In advance, I really thank you for your time and patience. I have created users in firebase from my register screen but now I want to save data (scores) from another screeen for each user. Despite the fact that I have read documentation, search for help in tutorials and dedicated time to solve it for myself, I will be happy if I can get some help from you, thunkers. ---

First you need to create an `app variable` to hold the `userId` in the login / registration screen. Then in the other screen use this variable to generate the key for the firebase entry. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/2/9/298c42f4e0d111ac655840916d6d72bb8dd772a8.png) ---

These are my blocks but for some reason the scores are overwritten. Do you know what am doing wrong? Once again, thank you very much for your pricesless help ---

Yes, this is correct. Under `scores` you are saving some values. Every time you call the `Save block`, you are overwriting existing values. You have two options: - Use counters for the `scores` to avoid overwriting. Example score/1, score/2, score/3 so that every time you increase the number and you will have your scores saved under the number not directly under the `score` key. - Use lists. In the object under `scores` don’t save the score variable directly but save a list of scores and every time you update the list. When you save, the updated list will be saved. Let me know if you need more clarification. ---

You can use cloud variables with Firebase instead of the Readtime DB blocks. There are some examples here: [Replace GET or SAVE Blocks with cloud variables](https://community.thunkable.com/t/replace-get-or-save-blocks-with-cloud-variables/975738). It’s hard to help someone when they say they have “the same problem” without sharing what they’ve tried. Screenshots or a link to a project are really helpful. ---
