The message value you set in the Activity-Set-Status method is not stored on a clipboard page or database table by default. It is only added to the pxMethodStatus property on the primary page context of the activity that executes the method. This is why you don’t see it directly available elsewhere. If Activity A calls Activity B, then once Activity B finishes, Activity A can check the status using tools.getStatusMessages() or by looking into pxMethodStatus to retrieve the message. Another option is to explicitly copy the message into a parameter or property inside Activity B before ending it, so that Activity A can easily read it after the call. This approach is cleaner because relying on pxMethodStatus is less predictable when multiple methods are executed. So, the best practice is to map the message from Activity B into a property or parameter and then pass it back to Activity A for use

Use a Parameter to set the value of the Message for Activity-Set-Status and when calling Activity B from A, check the checkbox- Pass current Parameter page. this should pass the parameters and achieve your goal of returning the message from Activity B to Activity A

@DilipanV105 Use @pxGetPageMessages() to fetch messages from your primary page. If you want to fetch messages from a different page, use @pxGetPageMessages(PAGENAME) instead.
