Hi, I can’t seem to make this work. Every time I store a new value in a Local Storage object- even though it’s a different object- it overwrites the first! I’m storing a value from the previous screen in LocalStorage1. Then I want to store ‘Y’ or ‘N’ in LocalStorageQ2. ![Capture](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/f/8/f85c59bcb2ac6804397515ac5e4443c7d6e6da8d.PNG) When I get to the final screen and pull up LocalStorage1 with a key (RowNumKey ) it has been overwritten with the Y or the N! So weird! I have a totally different Local Storage and a totally different key- why is one overwriting the other? ---

try to change keys, not use variable declaration, change it simply to string 🙂 ---

Tried using the same Local\_Storage component with different keys, tried using different Local\_Storage components with different keys. Nothing works- only one value can exist at a time, no matter how many different keys I try. ![Capture1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/9/e/9edb15260125265f1893145e4172b347f5ae6a46.PNG) ![Capture2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/3/e/3ea83d769c03a96df5ceec9e9b50fddd7b149fcb.PNG) ![Capture3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/7/b/7bcbd8f8c321336904e1244cb4d7c319e3d2c610.PNG) Here I have Local\_Storage1 and Local\_Storage2. Even though keys are different, and these are two different objects, once a value is entered for Local\_Storage2, it replaces the value in Local\_Storage1! So on the final screen, the result is that whatever the user entered for Local\_Storage2 always appears on the screen for both Local\_Storage1 and Local\_Storage2. Am I missing something simple? ---

i dont want to make you angry man 🙂 i gave you idea that maybe change blocks from variable to “simply” string will solve your problem … ![Screenshot_2018-09-07-04-58-07](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/7/d/7d11f3f64eb864db5e9af5e2f885f1b30ecf0e35.jpg) ---

Wow man that works!!! Thank you so much!!! LOL I do not understand exactly why it works, but it works! Seems like different Local\_Storages should all be completely separate, whatever key (string/variable) you put in, so I wish I could understand the “why”! But I’m so happy to get this to work that I don’t care now! Thanks again! ---
