How to set values on Settings screen based on values from application?

[DanMacLeod]

My Settings screen has a Text field so the user can enter a value. The user has the option to override the value on the settings screen from the application on the watch. Is it possible to send the value from the watch to the settings screen so the updated value will be displayed next time the settings screen is opened?

Yes, that should be possible. The process would be pretty much the reverse of what you're doing now. When the value is changed on the watch, use messaging or file transfer to send it to your companion. The companion can then update the setting via settingsStorage.setItem(...). The settings .jsx should automatically react to that change and display the new value when next it loads.

I did a quick test and it worked, thanks
