Hello,

I have a general question:

Is there a difference to update a property between the object Block and Cloud Variable?

Here is an example of 2 different ways that lead to the same result:

1. through object block:

 ![get property](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/b/e/be5cddf6abdb858de679e69b19918a05672d0171.png)

1. through cloud variable:

 ![cloud variable](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/1/3/135e9059470f5c3c6ba8b8f4693c072e72c4a14d.png)

Is one more efficient and the faster way (resource management) or does it not matter at all?

Hello @meko137  
Based on my understanding both methods are completely identical
