Is there any way I can store a value until I press a button? The problem Im having is that a button is just an input and I dont know how to make It so the value gets stored until I press the button.

Use a change node to store the value in a flow or context variable.

Then when the button is pressed, grab the value you stored early.

See the docs (read up on context)
