Hi, @doctorfunnoiau9! 👋

It’s quite easy. This could be done easily with an `app Variable` (Read more [here](https://docs.thunkable.com/variables))  
Take an `app Variable`, which is a _different kind of variable_, which means it works everywhere in the app.  
So, since you want to add an item to a list, initialize an app variable with a list. When the button is clicked, add an item to the list, which is an app variable. So, anytime when you open the other screen, your _updated_ list will be available to you 👍

Hope this helps you 😊  
Thanks! 🙃
