Hello!

How can I control which Tab will be used as Data in Choice (when there are alot of Tabs)

Now I have 9 Tabs and when I set up Choice component on the Form screen, I choose Source (there are no problem), all Tabs are avialeble.

But when I try to choose the Data, there are only columns from specific Tab without any options to change this tab (and I can not understand the logic which Tab it should be)

How to control, which exacly Tab will be used for Data?

The Data option of a Choice component doesn’t write to a Tab, it writes to a Table (important distinction).  
As far as I’m aware it will always be the Table that your screen is attached to.  
I don’t think there are any exceptions to that, but I may be wrong.
