Hi all!
In my app, I need to save a number that a label is changed to, so that when the user leaves and re-enters the app, they number is still the same, instead of being reset to 0. In more detailed manner, I am saying that I have made point system. I want the points to remain same after restarting the app instead of going back to zero

You can save the value in localStorage or any other data sources if you want it on the “cloud”.

Please stop spamming the forum by asking for the same thing over and over again.
As you’re new it’s best to try something yourself instead of asking for ready made code. That way you will learn something.

Can you show blocks of what you’ve tried so we can guide you better? It’s helpful for others too! 🙂

I’m fairly certain you need to change this
And instead set the variable when this screen opens using the `screen opens` block
Although it can be plugged into an initialize block, I believe they don’t work that way. You must set the value when using a data source block somewhere other than the initialization block.

You need to fill the `for row id`. Currently it is left blank. You need to put a number. For example use **1** for the first row in your table.

The problem is that you are storing the score in two places: a variable and a data source but not updating both when the user enters a different score.
Move the Update Value block up one spot. You need to update the data source _before_ setting the score variable.
If you still can’t get the score to display correctly, provide a link to your project and tell us which screen has the problem.
