Hello Jeremy,
Thank you for your answer! I didn’t express myself precisely enough.

I have 9 buttons (speed, consumption, hp,… – like on a car quartet card) that generate text on the left or right of one of 10 canvases, depending on a variable, which are filled one after the other.
So I have a total of 18 possible pieces of text that the user can generate by pressing one of the buttons. Each of these 18 pieces of text should be able to appear several times on one of the 20 possible places (left or right on the respective canvas).
My question now is: Can I place 20 hidden text elements (instead of preparing 20*9 elements) on the canvas and pass them the corresponding selected text element? I know there is no set method for the text elements, but can I work around this?
This is a part of the code to make my description easier to understand.
Thanks a lot!
Christin

Thanks a lot! It works! But if I now change the variable at the same time, it only works for the first button and not for any others. What is the reason for this?

 getButton("B1")
  .callback( newFunction( ()=>{
    try { getCanvas( getVar("canvasnr")._element.value ).visible()._runPromises();
    setVar("canvasnr", C3); // set the value of canvasnr to 3
    }
    catch (e) { }
  }).call() ),
        getButton("B2")
  .callback( newFunction( ()=>{
    try { getCanvas( getVar("canvasnr")._element.value ).visible()._runPromises();
    setVar("canvasnr", C4); // set the value of canvasnr to 3
    }
    catch (e) { }
  }).call() ),
        getButton("B3")
  .callback( newFunction( ()=>{
    try { getCanvas( getVar("canvasnr")._element.value ).visible()._runPromises();
    setVar("canvasnr", C5); // set the value of canvasnr to 3
    } // ...
