Hello! I was wondering if there was a list that explains which elements can populate to simulation variables as opposed to just screen variables?

Also would love to hear about any workarounds for perseverating screen variables to simulation variables if they exist.

Thanks!

Hi Dakota,

Unfortunately, the two are not interchangeable - you cannot pull variables into Simulation or push out to the course from Simulation as yet.
