Today, I needed 2 thunkable tabs open with the same project, because I needed to fill out a local db with data from a variable, and I found it a pain to keep shifting between the table and the variable. So, I completed the table, which was a lot of hard work, and then went to the second thunkable tab. As soon as I entered it, the first tab refreshed itself, and I found that it hadn’t saved any changes to the table. I lost all my work on the table. Why did this happen and what can I do to stop this next time? ---

I’m not sure why it happened but I definitely try to avoid that. If you need to compare a project with itself, make a copy and then open the copy in a new tab. ---

Great, thanks! Will keep that in mind. ---
