Open screen:
Each time the screen opens there is an action.
Start screen:
Only the first time the screen opens there is an action.
But why when I apply start screen, the action repeats every time my screen opens?

Hi there.I
think there was a bug report about that.
So i think it’s a bug.
Also, please do not bump topics, this one is 2 years old.
I’m going to close this topic since it’s so old but if you still need help, you can start a new topic and provide details about your issue such as a project link or screenshot. But know that the bug still exists and you may need to use a workaround which I explain in the bug report here:

### Expected Behavior
When I navigate away from screen 1 and then back to screen 1, I would expect the "opens" count to increase but the "starts" count not to change.
### Actual Behavior
Both "opens" and "starts" counts increase each time the screen is displayed.
