Hello all! This is my first question.
So I have a root node of CharacterCreation. It has a child that is a CharacterChoices node and another child that is a RaceCreationScreen node. PlayerChoices has a member variable of race.
My goal is that when someone chooses a race on the race creations screen, that change persists in the PlayerChoices node. However, it doesn't seem to be doing that. Even though I update PlayerChoices.race, when I call it later it has no value.
Some more detail below
On the the RaceCreationScreen there are race option buttons. When they are clicked, they emit a race_changed signal. CharacterCreation listens for this signal, and updates race in CharacterChoices when someone clicks a race button. E.x., if someone clicks the "Human" button, CharacterChoices.race is set to "Human".
Also on the CharacterCreation screen is a button to navigate to the RaceCreationScreen. When that button is clicked, it calls a RaceCreationScreen.createPageButtons passing in the parameter of CharacterChoices.race.
Code:

var screen_to_load : String
onready var CharacterChoices = $CharacterChoices
onready var RaceCreationScreen = $RaceCreationScreen

$Menu/StepOptions/RaceButton.grab_focus()

button.connect(
"pressed",
self,

)
func _on_Button_pressed(screen) -> void:
screen_to_load = screen
$Menu.hide()
match(screen_to_load):

RaceCreationScreen.createPageOptions(CharacterChoices.race)
RaceCreationScreen.show()
