Cross-layer variables
Hi everyone :)
I am working on a project where the user is looking at a form with pre-filled information. They have the option to click "Edit" on different fields which takes them to a new layer to make selections etc.
I need it to do one of two things:
1. Drop down buttons on layer 3 change state of box on layer 2
or
2. Drop down buttons appear on layer 2, change state of box on layer 2 then scroll down box of buttons disappear when state of box changes.
Are either of these possible?
Thanks :)

I'm not sure if that's what you are trying to do, but you can certainly create custom dropdown lists that when selected change the value of a variable. Maybe you can share a screenshot or .story file for more info.

I can get it to work so long as the object that i am trying to change the state of is on the base layer. I have attached a really rough example of what i need it to do - imagine that there is a lot more on the pages and the layers are unavoidable :(

They are both possible, and the attached sample shows both of them. Take your pick.
