Hi guys,

Do you know when clicking on the header and then getting the accordion text name in the session custom property?

You can use the onItemExpanded/Collapsed Events to write to a custom property:

```auto
def runAction(self, event):
	self.custom.expandedAccordionText = self.props.items[event.index].header.content.text

```

@cmallonee thank you for your response.

You are correct but in my case expand and collapse false so index id not found.

Then unless you're rendering the content as a View, there is no way to know about the text. As it looks like you _are_ rendering the content as a View, that _View_ should be responsible for declaring it was clicked and writing to the Session property.
