Do Local Variables have a scope across different screens?

Local variables in OutSystems are designed to have a limited scope, which means they are accessible only within the screen or the action where they are defined. This allows for encapsulation and prevents potential conflicts or unintended interactions with other parts of your application. When you declare a local variable in a specific context, such as a screen, that variable cannot be accessed from other screens or modules, ensuring clarity and maintainability in your application design.

This characteristic of local variables fosters better organization and reduces complexity, as each screen can manage its own data without worrying about interference from other parts of the application. In contrast, global variables or session variables would have broader scopes and could potentially lead to complications when managing state across different screens.

Overall, the concept of local variables being limited to their defining context enhances modularity and makes debugging and development more straightforward.
