Common behavior

...

A dynamic variable will not be refreshed after it has been assigned a value from a user input field. This creates a dedicate dynamic variable which behaves differently after the panel on which the user input field appears.

This means as soon as the user presses Next after filling a field which has the same name as a dynamic variable, the dynamic variable get is set to the value entered by the user and enters the frozen state and remains in that state unless the user presses the Previous button and remains frozen unless the user and moves backward again over the panel containing the input field by pressing the Previous button.

This meansIn consequence, a value entered by the user always has precedence over values that would be generated by dynamic variable refreshing in subsequent panels.

If there is more than one panel that modifies a dedicated one and the same variable, this variable is frozen immediately after the user completes the first panel containing the variable by pressing Next.

In addition, if the user goes back through the panel sequence by pressing Previous, they must reach the first panel containing the variable before it will be unfrozen.

In this way, the variables can be reset to the proper values based on new conditions when the user navigates backward and forward multiple times and inputs new choices.
