Hi, I'd like to know how I can keep the values from Dropdown and Textfields components when the screen is changed not using Tags. Is it possible? For example, I write something on my textfield and then I change the screen. When going back to the original screen nothing is written on the Textfield anymore. How can I keep the information on screen components that are binded to no tags? Thanks. ---

Create session custom properties to hold the values, and bidirectionally bind the data entry fields to them. Each user will have their own values. ---
