Problem (bug?) passing variable values down 2 steps of a modal

Ask us anything

I have the following situation:

  1. Repeater list with a button that opens a modal with parameters
  2. Parameters come from the item in the repeater list of which button was clicked
  3. When the modal opens, I have the parameters available to me.
  4. The modal has a button, that button has a (onclick) workflow in which a ‘project workflow’ should get executed. That project workflow has parameters that I set from the parameters given to the modal
  5. Inside the project workflow, the values of the parameters are not available.

I have a little video of the situation here:

[edit]
To be clear. You can see 2 workflows, the one I click is the one with the global workflow, the one above has the workflow inside it (instead of a global one) and in that one, the parameters are valid
[/edit]

This has happened before so I’m wondering if this is a bug or intentional? Should I create variables and set those variables in the workflow instead of using the parameters? That seems like a workaround that shouldn’t be necessary…

Thanks!

Hi Niels :waving_hand:

I watched your video and read your description but I’m still having a hard time understanding your issue.

Let me see if I’m in the right path:

1- You created a popup that you pass a certain ”X” parameter when opened

2- You can access the parameter inside a popup workflow

3- Inside that popup you call a global workflow

4- That global workflow doesn’t have access to parameter X

If this is indeed your issue, I think that you will have to create a variable so you can use it everywhere, as I believe the popup parameters can only be accessed directly and only in the popup workflow and not in nested ones.

So yes, you need to create this variable that will be filled when you click the original button and from then you can pass as much information as you want, a certain detail or even the entire repeater item.

Hi Agustin,

Thanks for your quick answer. Yes I guess the term I was looking for is nested. OK so I’ll create variables in that case… Too bad because I was enjoying trying to ‘productise’ my workflows and using the parameters as it makes everything very clean and easy to backtrack…

Glad I wasn’t overlooking anything, haha. Thanks!!
