Indeed, it seems like the support documentation does not explain the function, can someone explain the difference of the options. What is the difference between

- Title
- HeaderTitle
- HeaderBackTitle
- HeaderTruncatedBackTitle

Hi @Dr_Walter , I can change title, headerTitel etc. with the function “get StackNavigationOptions” like this:

It is important to initially set the Stack Navigation Options in the Designer for the screen (you can even type in a blank), and that the screen is of course inside a Stack. There are different options, “headerTitle” is only one.

I have recreated this and it seems to be changing the Tab Navigation Options because when I set the label to the object it has updated.

The problem is the screen titles at the top don’t update. It’s as if the Navigation Options do change, but the screen titles aren’t called to be updated.

Here’s the settings I have. On the Design Page you’ll see I have red squares drawn around the x  
If you click the x it causes it to show “undefined” in the little text box to the left of the x  
If you click in the text box it displays “Empty string” in the text box as you see in my screenshot

Very bottom screenshot is my result on the Thunkable Live app

There’s another thread about this here where it seems some people have success & others do not. Idk what is causing the discrepancy is either.
