Hi there, I need a help, how can I add value from an object to another object by a button? Please check the image attached. I want to send the Date and Time Input object value to a Label value when I click the 'Add date to the label' button. Could you help me? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/5/0/502a9001910cb8026991e133e726cc7c7acd6b3d.png) I ---

Right-click on the button and select Configure Events. ![Copy to label](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/6/1/61acfc87a32dd3fb371c81e167cf3d87b25629f6.png) I suggest to you that this action is unneccessary, non-standard and will confuse your operators. Whatever the label is being used for can access the `DateTimeInput.value` property directly. I recommend reading up on good GUI design practices. It will help your design process, help your users and look professional rather than amateur.
