Pass value from App 1 to App2 in Matlab App designer in Matlab 2016

Im using matlab 2016b so there are limitation in editing startfup function argument unlike in 2020version.

I would like to call a value of a textbox from 1 app and use it in in 2nd app. App 1 executes first then app 2 loads the public property 'data' from app1 .

%mainapp public property
property (Access=Public)
data
end

%From Main App in after pushbutton pressed
app.EditText.Value='sample text to import'
app.data=app.EditText.value

%Secondary display after pushbutton pressed
app.EditText.Value=app.data

I am using the above code but i get error. I also search similar questions but their execution method is different from mine where the main app is the input receiver and the 2ndary app copies values o¥from main app. Thanks in advance
