Replying to my own post… As a follow-up, I’ve added separate navigation buttons to select screens to allow the back and forth navigation, but it would be great if screen names could be tied to variables. If I move screens around, changing the navigation would be much easier if “navigate to screen” didn’t have to be hard-coded but could direct to a screen name controlled by a variable. Any suggestions?  
I saw this so I guess variables and simulations aren’t compatible? [Simulation Elements & Variables - #2 by hbailey](https://community.evolveauthoring.com/t/simulation-elements-variables/2127/2)

Thx.
