How to pass gui output to workspace?

Hello, I am trying to develop a gui using matlab app designer. 1. How do I write the code such that the output of a push button appears in the workspace? 2. I used the property tool to share data across but for some reason this only works if the output is physically present in the workspace. The output is a structure called F. How do I correct this? I am using evalin(‘base’, ‘F’) in the property section. If I can find a way to make the output appear in the workspace then the app will work fine.

Thank you

I was able to create and write to a variable in the base workspace using the following:

% Button pushed function: Button
function ButtonPushed(app, event)
     str = sprintf('%s called  (%s)',"ButtonPushed",char(datetime));
     assignin('base','myF',str)
            
end

"ButtonPushed()" is the callback for a button.

Let me know if it works for you.

You can use "assignin" function to store data in the workspace either 'base' or 'caller' depending upon your requirements.
