Hello Dear Forrumers !

I am trying to do that but Component is not seen from other Forms and I could not able to import it

Could anybody help me?

How you approach this depends on how your app is structured. Without any details, people can only guess at what would work for you.

If this is an app you can share publicly, post a clone link so people can see what approach will work for you.

Thank you Jay !

Structure is simple HomePage - SubPage - SubSubPage
And Navigation is nested pages in Homepage - just replacing Pages inside Homepge as Componenets

  1. I am adding some Label on top level - HomePage
  2. Giving Text value to that label
  3. But all SubPages don’t see that value off that Text Label and I cannot pass it to the code in Server Module

This is how my page looks like now.
I have 2 Labels on Right Top - They getting text value from Drop-down - Selected value
In the Code side I can see this text value on this page - it OK

Thi is Destination Page - on the down level - two times down)
Here We can see Labels on the Right Top - but in the Code side I cannot access to the Attributes text of that Labels
I put the text to the Drop down menu in the middle but I have near 40 pages like this and don’t want my users will select each time from Drop-down menu - they can by mistake select another value
I want they will one time select them on Top Page and it will be applied to all Pages

This is how Destination Page looks like when sidebar hidden

Your Client code is a Python program. It is not restricted to keeping data just inside a Form. You could, for example, create a separate module, with no Forms at all, just data: e.g., the data you want to share among several different forms. Such as text, to be incorporated into one or more labels.

If overused, this technique can make for code that is very hard to test and debug. Used sparingly, this technique can work very well.

This is a very common solution, discussed in several different Forum posts. You may want to use the Search feature to find them.

Thank you Phil !
I reread Anvil Documentation about that and using Global variables in Client Module did that !
