local justice1 = game.Workspace.justice.SurfaceGui.Text.Text
local justice2 = game.Workspace.justice2.SurfaceGui.Text.Text
local justice3 = game.Workspace.justice3.SurfaceGui.Text.Text

local plaintiff1 = game.Workspace.hobruh.plaintiff.SurfaceGui.Text.Text
local plaintiff2 = game.Workspace.hobruh.plaintiff2.SurfaceGui.Text.Text
local plaintiff3 = game.Workspace.hobruh.plaintiff3.SurfaceGui.Text.Text

local defendant1 = game.Workspace.hobruh.defender.SurfaceGui.Text.Text
local defendant2 =  game.Workspace.hobruh.defender2.SurfaceGui.Text.Text
local defendant3 =  game.Workspace.hobruh.defender3.SurfaceGui.Text.Text

local justice = script.Parent.Parent.Justice.Text
local plaintiff = script.Parent.Parent.Prosecutor.Text
local defendant = script.Parent.Parent.Defender.Text

function SubmitDetails()
	justice1 = justice
	justice2 = justice
	justice3 = justice
	
	plaintiff1 = plaintiff
	plaintiff2 = plaintiff
	plaintiff3 = plaintiff
	
	defendant1 = defendant
	defendant2 = defendant
	defendant3 = defendant
end

script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(SubmitDetails)

Button to submit what's typed in a textbox. I don't get why it doesn't work.

dont ask why its named hobruh. i got bored

if anyone ends up fixing this, is there a way to get the player who submitted it, and put it in a hint since i don't want this again: http://prntscr.com/79rua6

Maybe it's because I'm stupid, but I got a response on ROBLOX quicker. Many times that I post here, someone else has given me the answer already or my dumb self has figured it out :(

I should assign the .Text in the function, but not the variable. also, the person who responded to me on roblox forum's name is "amanda". nice.

Since you have so Many Variable it would be more efficient to use tables to access them
