Hi, I cannot reproduce this issue. What version of ServiceNow, Xplore, and browser are you using?

Xplore version: 4.9
Browser: Chrome 94.0.4606.41 on Windows 10

Turns out this was a bug with Chrome incorrectly copying the page and turning all the settings on which meant hoisting was enabled on the duplicate page. Hoisting requires a return value which is why it was failing.

It's fixed in 4.10.
