Good afternoon. Guys, I have a problem. So we have a page. This page has a button (a reusable element!) and a popup (also a reusable element!). Questions: 1. How can I open a popup on click of a button? 2. And how can I make the clicks of the button inside the reusable element affect the elements of the page on which this RE is located? I’ve been struggling with this problem for 2 weeks now. Please, help! ---

Hi there, @localhost-group… set custom states to particular values when buttons inside the reusable elements are clicked, and set up _Do when condition is true_ (every time) workflow events to have the elements on the page do something when the custom states are set to the particular values. Hope this helps. Best… Mike ---

Ok, so you can use custom state. Create it on button RE level (like “show popup” = yes/no). Then some WFs: 1. RE button clicked - set state “show popup” = yes 2. WF “do when condition is true” (every time) → show RE popup 3. WF “when a pop up is closed” - set state “show popup” = no ---

@mikeloc @artemzheg Thank you! I would also like to know if I have several such buttons (the same RE) on the page (they should show a popup if the user has points == 0, and if \> 0, then open the link)? And each of the buttons should do the same thing - do I need to do a workflow for each of them (RE\_button\_A, RE\_button\_B, RE\_button\_C) or is it possible to do it somewhere in one place, without repeating for each of the added RE instances? Thank you so much for your help guys ❤
