I want to store text data on edit field when I press button on app designer Matlab

I am creating an app that can allow professors to store text data as an email draft on matlab on a specific subject and type like (lecture, Lab, Tutorial).

I want to store text data on edit field when I press button on app designer Matlab on the professor. I also want to callback that stored text in a sendmail command when I press the button on tab 2 on student app after filling in the specific subject code and subject type.

For your first question, create a Callback function for that button. I assume you have somewhere an input field where the desired text is stored. Save that to a propery, lets call it desiredText. In the callback function, it should look something like this

%somewhere when text is inputted
    app.desiredText = app.InputEditField.Value;

%then later in your button callback function
function ButtonPushed(app, event)
    app.EditField = app.desiredText; %display your text in a specific text field.
end

As that specific text is a property, you are also able to recall that text in your sendmail command.
