Hi @ahmad ammar,

As per my understanding in MATLAB App Designer if you are trying to set a variable that you wish to be availble throughout the app then you will have to set it as a property within the app. Currently, you are only defining it within a callback function and hence the variable is not available globally within the app.

Within the App Designer app whenever you set any property or component it is availeble throughout the app globally. Hence, this issue is not related to Tab Group.

You can set a property by clicking the + icon inside 'Code Browser' inside 'Code View' of the app. Once this property is set, it can be accessed and changed throughout the app by using callbacks or functions.
