Your sequence concept and reason for putting these handlers in the card
script are correct. What do you mean by "...data in the pref stack"? Is this
in a custom property? Field? Are you correctly referencing as in *the
uMenuItems of stack "Preferences"?

If so, try moving your menu building to the end of the openStack handler of
Mainstack and see if that makes a difference, although I don't think it
should, but I don't know all the rest of your code, so am just guessing.
Happy hunting!
