@germanydrivingschool, this is very easy, you have to just add object normally, like lets suppose you have to add course X, go to the block set cloud variable and give path to `A\B\..\12\brought_courses\course X` to `Your object with Date and validity` By using this method, your other data will be safe, and not deleted. ---

Thanks @germanydrivingschool, for ss, Ok, so after analyzing the code and result, i found that you have entered wrong path of object, and the set property \_\_, in the blank space you have to fill your property name like date or validity. If this not solved your problem, then please send more code screenshots or link. ---

I didn’t say to set the property of an object. Use the set cloud variable block at the bottom of the Variables drawer: ![Screenshot 2023-07-20 at 12.05.31 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/8/3/833adb2a47ee917aed7029b51af4511ae3e21ce3.png) Replace “name” with the path that I provided above. **Be sure to back up your Firebase database before testing!** ---
