I created an active state for some buttons. the buttons need to be dynamically generated from a list (thats tomorrow steves problem) right now, when I click 1 button, allll the buttons click and get activated. I tried stacking the buttons in 1 column, 1 button per row, using flex boxes instead of buttons and I think thats it. My workflow is true false split. if buttonIsActive=false become true, if its true, become false. but all buttons become true or false at the same time. Any ideas? I obviously only want 1 button to be active at a time. ---

sounds like you have linked all the buttons to one variable and if the variables is true there active otherwise there are not I think you need an array where if array[0] = true button in position 1 is true. if this isn’t helpfull maybe reword your question and include some images of your set up and what you would like to occur ---

Buttons are stateless when you repeat them dynamically, you need to dynamically turn them on, or use a component, then they’ll have their internal logic. ---

ok, Ill have to look into how to generate the buttons from a list first then Ill come back to this. I, sometimes , am not sure it which order I should face my tasks Ive only been in the software a little under 3 weeks but with 15+ hour days I thought I would be further along in understanding it. The xano side is killing me. thanks for all your help everyone. ---
