How do I set a state of an element in the different reusable block? Basically, I have **an index page with 2 reusable elements inside**. This is what I want to do > _WHEN - ReusableBlock1.Button1.Click_ > _THEN - ReusableBlock2.StateX.set(ReusableBlock1.Field1.value)_ but also > _WHEN - ReusableBlock1.Button1.Click_ > _THEN - ScrollTo.ReusableBlock2.Header_ …if that makes sense to you. So far I haven’t found an easy way to do it. Real example - When I click a button - It generates several objects. **I need to pass 2 of those objects** as a _state of a group_ in the other reusable element. Please help I have no sleep because of this I also didnt eat anything for 4 days. Thank you ---

@extysolutions Create a custom event with all the necessary workflow actions Access this event using the action “trigger a custom event from a reusable element “ ---

@extysolutions Place reusable 1 inside a popup that you never open (… in other words … “hidden”) in reusable 2. ---

That won’t work because the whole concept is to have 2 reusables side by side on index page. I can access custom events from index. But I cannot access index custom events from reusables workflow. I can’t stack them together - have to be side by side. ---

@extysolutions Place them anywhere you feel appropriate. In order to access a reusable’s custom event you need to place that reusable in a place where it can be … “detected” Since you want to access a reusable inside a reusable … just place one inside the other in anyplace you deem appropriate
