you could try put a workflow on whatever your background element is changing the bool to false and then have stop click propagation on the elements you don’t want it to change. ---

1. As you can see here in logs, when i click on user icon(top righ corner) workflow for user icon change variable to True. But because i have workflow on Main Container to reset same variable it reset it immediately to false. ![Reset1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/b/b54f05f51aea05757acfbe49b2162fc8ec8c3d1d.gif) 1. Here you can see that z-axis for user icon is 51(so its above) and z-axis for Main Container is 50(so its bellow) but still it react on user icon like i have click on container. ![Reset2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/8/841f1c436277e716dc9d0caa4daaeba1ccac8b62.gif) I want when i click on User Icon, variable to be set to True(i have workflow for this) but when i click on any other place on page this variable to be Reseted. ---

it sure can be done haha what you have missed is the stop click propagation action the docs explain it well. > **[Stop click propagation | Documentation](https://docs.weweb.io/workflows/actions/stop-click-propagation.html#the-solution)** > > Learn how to prevent event bubbling in WeWeb using the Stop propagation action to control click events and avoid unintended interactions. ---

Thank you man this was helpfull 🙂 But now have other problem. When i set variable to True and its open container with elements in it, after i click on some element it close it(reset variable). Look bottom for example. When i click on input element to write something its close it. ![Reset3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/e/e0b6698cb13303f829bc47c85763f543e19dedfd.gif) ---
