Hi! I have problems in creating directory either with Realtime DB or cloud variable. I’ve attached captures from Realtime BD method with the two alternatives which don’t work. It’s working in case I put a word after “/”, but don’t work in case I put the block “from textinput get text” or a variable where I stored a text. I got really stuck in this. Please, tell me what did I do wrong! 😥[SmartSelect\_20200417-132420\_Chrome|636x500](https://community.thunkable.com/uploads/short-url/mYmqUM0HYUDVF1VRDPQYZ2GugIB.jpeg) ![SmartSelect_20200417-132449_Chrome](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/4/d/4d233829df9d411143a795f146967f152f5cf189.jpeg) ---
