retrieve data from previous screen

i have a screen in which i insert a lot of data

when i add tags, i can see them in another screen, than i can return on this screen to compile the rest

i have two question

1) is there any rapid way to retrieve the value that i insert when i go to the tag screen and back to this screen? or i have to save every textbox and label and call with a db?

2) the list of tag, is a part of the contact i store. Now, since i can go to the tags screen (so i can see the tags of the contact i'm storing), how can i manage it? there is no problem with the first contact cause there's only the tags of it in the tag "tags", when i store a second contact, it's tags are added to every other tag. Should i clear the tag "tags" when i save my contact so the new contact i store has an empty slot for its tag?

i know it's a bit odd as topic, but no one has some ideas?

Did you try not going to a different screen and making a "virtual screen" with a layout that is turned visible and invisible?

The way you formulated your question 2 is a little too complicated. Can you please be a little more clear?

This question sounds like the old Who's On First? comedy routine.

Could you please rephrase it using the term optional additional contact attribute name/value instead of tag,

which is easily confused with TinyDB tag ?

Blocks?

great solution

other question is no more relevant with this solution.

however you're right, i often write when i'm making something else, or when i'm in train :-D

it's really easy.

I have a contact that's a list: name, surname etc and other variable that are lists, like "tags" (the tag of tinydb formed by a "tag name" and "tag value" joined with a ":").....

One contact has a lot of tags.

so, i add tags before i save a contact, and i can see the tags added til the moment in another screen

now, for this two values (tag name:tagvalue) that i call "tags", i use a tag in tinydb called with the same name, "tag"

since i open another screen, i need to get the tag "tags" with the tinydb....the problem is when i add the second contact, if i store the tags of the second contact they are added to the tags of the first contact, and so on.

Obviously every single contact as a list of "tags" that are only related to the contact itself.

i thought to delete the tag of tinydb "tags" every time i add a new contact, so every contact has its own tags

but with the solution of italo, i do not need it anymore

i hope it's clear now, this is a problem of language and tiredness

Not having seem your blocks, I would guess that your are not building up your TinyDB tags to include the JOIN of the parent object (Contact Name?) and entity(tag)  name?

i'm using another method with listpicker, the best solution of course. I didn't like it but i was dumb

can u make an example of what are u speaking of? "JOIN of the parent object (Contact Name?) and entity(tag)  name?"

Here's a sample set of tags and values showing how to make TinyDB do all the work of tables, rows and columns:

(Tag:Value)

Users/UserID/ABG/Name : Abraham Getzler

Users/UserID/ABG/email : AGetzler@myob.com

Users/UserID/ABG/NickName : Methuselah

Users/UserID/ABG/Age : 999

,,,

Users/UserID/Diego/Name : Diego Marino

Users/UserID/Diego/email : Diego.Marino.task@myob.com

Do you see how extensible this is?

i'm just a bit confused.....you mean:

the "users/userid/abg/name" how do you make it in the blocks?

i'm making to muuch stuff and this is confusing

Use the text JOIN block.
