When I have to repeat the same task?

[tnbk11okmuza]

Hello. I am very beginner.
I’m making a family phone book.
It’s what makes me call right after I type in my picture, name, and phone number.
I thought it could be made very simple.
Entering one phone number is not a big problem.
Now the block is the input and output of one person’s data.(still working)
But when I tried to enter and save data for a total of eight people, I had to repeat the current block eight times.

I don’t think that’s the answer, no matter how much I think about it.
There must be some way. I’m not sure.
How can you make it easier, simpler?

You can also use Any blocks, as you are advised. There are other options, but they are specific.

Persistent Data in the ListViewer

Here’s a quick example of how to save data in a list viewer and make it persistent i.e. the data is saved in your app and displayed the next time you open it. Create a stored Variable Start by creating a stored variable in your app. In the example below I’ve called my variable listOfItems. Note: when this variable is created it has no value, so you need to assign it one when your app loads for the first time. [initialise_list] Create an empty list instead. In the image above we had some sta…
