Thanks for the input, @szymczyk! So what you're saying is when someone clicks on the navigationLink I should first call the addNote function in dataManager and then pass the idd value I receive to a view called NewNoteView which is separate from NoteView. Am I getting it right?

@szymczyk if that's the case then I guess the question still remains how I would pass that idd value I receive from addNote() to the new NewNoteView?

yep, already did. Been stuck on the screen for 8 hours. Restarted the mac adn even redownloaded the file 4 times.
