No way for us to know unless you show us some code.

That would help huh Let me get it coded back in (deleted it since it didn't work) and I will post a screen cap.

Okay my import is basically adjustments to video library.

I am trying to get detailed file (movie) info into the screen under the CurrentItem Widget

Current Item-
---------------ParentGroup-
----------------------------txt
-------------------------------theme
The above is the default and pulls the title. I have found the focused widgets that calls what parent group equals and refresh's current item. So I have added

ParentGroup1 = GetShowDescription (Show) into the focus gained before the refresh

Then in the Current Item I added

Current Item-
---------------ParentGroup-
----------------------------txt
-------------------------------theme
---------------ParentGroup1-
----------------------------txt
-------------------------------theme


But this doesn't appear to be working so I know I am off kelter somewhere.

I am trying to call current title and description into an import at the same time

Below is the coding in the focus gained section

I can get CurrentGroup to show whatever I want show description title etc

But I cannot get CurrentGroup2 to show any information

Any help is much appreciated.

Is the variable ParentGroup2 declared anywhere? I.e. is there an Attribute widget with that name in a scope where all uses of that variable can see it? If not, then you have two distinct local variables that just happen to have the same name, and there's no way for the information to get from one part of your code to the other.

Is there some reason you're putting your ParentGroup2 in a panel by itself (CurrentItem2) instead of adding it to some existing panel? What steps are you taking to make sure your new panel lays out correctly on screen and does not overlap other panels?

Also there seems to be some confusion in the false branch of your code where you're assigning ParentGroup instead of ParentGroup2, and you seem to have a pointless call to Fork() that goes nowhere.

Note that I'm not a SageMC user or developer and am not familiar with how this code is supposed to work when it's functioning normally. Hopefully you do have that familiarity, i.e. you understand what each line of the code you're trying to emulate is there for and how it does its job.

okAY

Parentgroup2 is in it's on panel because more items will be called to it once I can figure this out and it will be in a different location onscreen than ParentGroup.

As for a variable no it is not declared anywhere but nether it parentgroup and it works.

Yeah the blank fork that needs to be fixed but is not false right now so that shouldn't effect it.

I am at a total loss why parentgroup works and parentgroup2 doesn't

Thank you thank you thank you.

ParentGroup was declared I just forget

After declaring ParentGroup 2 all is right with the world.

Can't thank you enough
