yes! I have incorporated something like this into a flight tracker i made recently. when you click on any flight, a window pops up on the bottom of the screen with info about that flight. i use all app(stored) in your case variables to accomplish this. you could also use airtable or firebase but if only the person with the phone needs to have access to that info, then go with a stored variable or local storage. the stored variable works the same but uses less blocks. ---

Okay, do the blocks I have make that happen? So far I am having trouble getting the specific info where I want it. If I have 2 names in my Main screen, on my view screen the most recent text entry will populate regardless of if I clicked on the new or old entry ---

so. if you store animal names in one list. you could store the other information in other lists and then recall that information as needed based on the index of the item clicked. ---

Thanks, I will play around some with the advice for a few days to see if I can crack it. Thank you for all your help 🙌 ---

it’s really useful once you get the hang of it. I have another method i use where i would just throw any info into lists, a name list, a age list, a breed list, etc. then when an item is clicked on in the list viewer, you can grab the corresponding item from another list based on the index of the original item clicked. ---

So I can call an index if I want the information displayed on the same page as where my list is, but I am wanting the information to display on a different page. So I click a name in the list and it takes me to a different page where I want the information to be displayed. Is there a way I can make that work? ---

Okay! So I went ahead and did some idea editing and coding and your blocks have helped immensly. The one error I am coming across is that whenever my Main/View Screen opens (say after adding a new entry or if I return to my main screen from elsewhere, the Names stored in the list will all duplicate. Is that something you have come across before? ---

If you can post updated blocks that would make it easier to help you! 🙂 ---

😆 I took pictures and totally forgot to put them in! So here is the main/view screen blocks fr when the screen “Opens” I only include these cause the issue is upon opening. Those other blocks are coding some unrelated things ![Annotation 2020-03-31 131341](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/8/f/8f840d54f78d056ea10531b1a6929d347d16a9fa.jpeg).
