Passing parameters to Create Work Action in a Button
Env: Pega 8.4
Hi There,
I have a Section in class ORG-APP-UI where I defined a Button with an action 'Create Work' on click.
The work is created in class the ORG-APP-Work-MyCase with the flow pyStartCase.
I need to pass the attribute PRN collected from the Section defined in ORG-APP-UI to the pyStartCase (in ORG-APP-Work-MyCase). The Create Work action allows to pass a parameter (if defined in the pyStartCase) but the context of that parameter is not the same of the button (ORG-APP-UI) but the same as pyStartCase (ORG-APP-Work-MyCase).
How can I address my requirement?
Cheers.

You can mention the page name which is storing PRN value from the UI class in pages and classes tab and mention pagename.PRN in the parameter.

Hi,
thanks for your prompt answer. It makes sense, I added the class ORG-APP-UI into "Pages & Classes" of the Section where I defined the button and I can now define the PRN parameter value to the property from ORG-APP-UI.
So far so good, but still the case starts without picking the passed parameter (PRN).
Is there anything I have to do in the pyStartCase to pass the PRN parameter to the case itself?

Could you please check if that PRN value which you are passing as parameter present in the clipboard.
Are you setting this parameter value in the pyStartCase value to any other property and not seeing the value there?

The PRN parameter is definitely not in the Clipboard of the case thread once started (eg: I-82). I don't know how to check the clipboard of the original harness (used in a mashup).
The PRN is set as parameter in the pyStartCase, it's the only parameter. I am not using any other property to start the case.
I tried adding a run Data Transform action before the Create Work action in my button. The Data Transform Set the value or .PRN in my target class ORG-APP-Work-MyCase from the ORG-APP-UI class.
But I have the same result.
