Call parametrized Data Page from Activity setting params via Property-Set
Hello community.
I've got a question about passing parameters to Data Pages. Is it OK to pass parameters to Data Page in activity using Property-Set?
E.g. I have a D_TestPage with two params TestParam1 and TestParam2. I create an activity with 2 steps (see screenshot for reference):
1. Set values to TestParam1 and TestParam2.
2. Make actions with step page D_TestPage without explicitly setting parameters. Parameters are passed to data page from current param page.
This works now, but are we supposed to use it? Is there a possibility this will be changed in next versions and code will stop working?
The thing is if Data page has a lot of params (>10) it's hard to write them all in the string everytime we call for data page.
Thank you!

Hello,
We do have a lot of Data Pages Out-Of-The-Box using parameters,
Can you check an existing to compare with your configuration such as D_AttachmentsList.

Hello Marc.
I don't see how D_AttachmentList configuration can help me with my question.
I want to know if, while called in activity, data page always uses current parameter page if not stated otherwise. E.g. if on my param page param.LinkRefFrom is set to C-12 and I make a property set Primary.pyNote=D_AttachmentList.pyNote, will D_AttachmentList be called with parameter from current parameter page (actually it will, the main question is if this behaviour going to stay between Pega versions e.g. Pega 8).
