Issues with Scripting in Cards

[bluebrowney]

I was trying to make dynamic cards with a script tag in the cards markup, but whenever I pressed the edit card button, the JS would run correctly once and the second I edit anything it would refresh and completely ignore the script.

I was wondering if there was a way to make it so the JS updates when I edit it rather than closing and reloading every time; or if I am just doing something completely wrong.

Thanks in advance! slight_smile:

Try enclosing your script in a function, like this:

Card template javascript variables carrying over to next card

The easiest way is to enclose your whole code in a function, like this: <script> function stuff(){ // your code here ... } stuff() // or with an anonymous function: (()=>{ // your code here ... })() </script> You can also avoid the error by using var instead of const or let.

Thanks that did the trick. So basically, defining any variables out side of a local scope causes it to not update with each edit.
