Hi Ashton,
often the solutions are quite simple. Watch the console for errors.
You are calling GetLink() on a GeDialog instance, which doesn't provide such function. Instead you need to call GetLink()/SetLink() on your linkBox instance and it will work as expected.
One small request from our side:
The less code you post, the easier it is for us to reproduce and check the issue. In the end this provides us with more time to help others or more time to improve the docs. So a little time spent in short meaningful code snippets help everybody. -

hey sorry about not having less code Andreas but I still don't understand GetLink()/SetLink() do you have a example that I can look at using it in this way, cause I am lost and I think I try everything but no luck, I a not seeing work on my side. But this works
data[self.UI_LvlList] = self.GetLong(self.UI_LvlList) # <----- This working fine.So how do you set it up for a LinkBox.
