Hi,

PennController elements do not correspond to any native javascript type, and in particular PennController Var elements do not correspond to javascript variables. As illustrated here, you can pass a Var element to the text command on a Text element to set its value dynamically. In your case, it would look something like this:

newVar("hitext").set(getVar("ID")).set(v=>`hi, ${v}`),
newText("instructions-1").text( getVar("hitext") )
