Yes, that is what I meant. If the session is not defined in goibals it won’t set
As I mentioned I only use the Globals area for filtering using sessions that already exist. Interested in how @Hyperbytes creates a session in this way?
Disregard my above question 
Use a Repeat as outlined above.
But i’m not using any db value
its a static test value.
Yes, you are correct Kattouf, no need for repeat in that last one. Everything seems correct, I suspect there is a server issue
EDIT * although I see the session is set a number and you are assigning a string *
i suspect that too. i will investigate. thanks
Am sure we set some static values using a Repeat but can’t find the example… Please still try by setting a Repeat and setting your static value, maybe it will work?
Dave, i do what he has done all the time with no problems
Guys,
No repeat is needed when you set a static value in a session

I’ve not done this (in this way) so will leave the support in your capable hands sir.
Sorry, just remembered.
Output on a session value does not work, it never has
try assigning the the session to a variable then outputting the variable (yes, it is a hack but it works) like this
You will see the output of that is:
The session outputs null but the variable with its value assigned returns the real value
The session is being set, it just isn’t reported correctly

Makes sense,
But i had earlier did a conditional where i compared sessions to a parameter and that kept failing because session was null.
anyway it’s clearly my server …
Regarding Variables, Does global mean i can use them in other actions? Do they go under $_server like we do for $_session?
yes, If you define a session under Globals, say $_SESSION.myvar in a server action then adding that same session name to another server action will make the value of that session available in that Server Action
I meant the Variables… they have a Global Name which i never understood
Honest answer, no idea, always used sessions under those circumstances. Why not give it a try?
EDIT
On thinking about it, i doubt it, I believe a variable set as global means global scope within that action as opposed to local scope within a specific section such as a repeat
It appears I answered that quesion in August last year (then forgot) -

WOW! great answer! thanks! it was bugging me
Ok sessions are working finally, in the test u suggested i Bound the var to the wrong thing.
and u are right they don’t output so that was confusing.
thanks for the help.

Just an extra comment to add to what’s already been mentioned:
I think the sessions variables would have been set correctly from the beginning - ie as in your first screenshot. If you have access to the session files created on the server (eg if you’re using a local server), you can open the session files and see the data has been created - whether from static values or dynamic values retrieved from a database.
The trick is getting access to them in Wappler (which @Hyperbytes has explained).
