How to get name of Work Page
Its a best practise to avoid hardcoding of pyWorkPage when developing rules in Pega. @getStepPageName() will return the name of the step page that may not always be the work page. How do we get the name of the current work page when we are in a context other than the work page itself. For example: When we have an embedded data class and we are calling a Data Transform on the data class.

Use of keyword TOP will help to get top level page context. If initial processing is started with pyWorkPage as toplevel page, we can use TOP keyword to get context of pyWorkPage.
Consider below scenarios
1.
Clipboard structure:
pyWorkPage
--PageA
--PageB
---PageC
Suppose we are have DT which is context of PageC , if we use keyword Top we can still get context of toplevel page i.e. pyWorkPage
2. Consider a parallel toplevel page "TempPage" to pyWorkPage
pyWorkPage
TempPage
---PageM
---PageN
Suppose we are have DT which is context of PageN , if we use keyword Top we can still get context of toplevel page i.e. TempPage and not the pyWorkPage.

If you are in Data class level then Use the Top/Parent keywords by defining in the Pages and classes tab TOP as the workpage class name.
If you are in Work level try to not mention the step page names or use temporary pages and clean them after use.

Thanks for your inputs. Top does help to get the work page in the context that is mentioned above. However, lets say we have a data page that's used in a section of a work page. If I need to get the name of the work page from the Data Transform that sources this data page, using Top, Primary, getStepPageName, getTopevelPage will not return the data page and not work page. Any idea on how we can get the work page in this case?
