Hi, I am very new to Thunkable and the app I was creating was working extremely well in Test until just today when my variable names started disappearing in my Blocks. The app I am creating is one that asks questions and tallies a score based on the answers. I initialized an app variable named “Score” to 0 at the start of the first question. I created blocks to add various point totals to the score based on the answer to each question. The problem is that, while viewing the blocks, I’ve encountered an issue where thevariable named “app Score” no longer appears and instead it is a series of random characters. This has caused the math of adding to the score to fail. Has anyone else encountered such an issue? Thank you, Keith ---
