Using the dashboard button, how do you set parameters to pass to automation script?

In my dashboard, I have two grid components from two different device GQIs.  I am wanting to pass the Custom Name from the grid on the left to the custom name parameter for the selected IDX elements grid on the right.  The Automation script works when run manually.

The problem I am having is how do I set the Automation script parameter value fields, for the button component Settings, based on the grid selections?

Thanks,

Steve

Working with this a bit more, I manually entered the IDX Parameters value, which allowed the automation script to execute and populated the 'Custom Description' field as:

{"type":"Parameter","pId":405,"dmaId":136,"eId":1832,"index":"Interface_3"}

Rather than the table parameter value (Futura HD) I was expecting.

I believe the same result is happening when trying to pass the IDX information to automation script, the entire parameter lookup data is being passed rather than just the current table parameter IDX value.

Hi Steve,

The Button component in Dashboards doesn't allow dynamically linking data to the input parameters of the script. If you want to link data from the selection in the grids, you will have to use a Low Code App instead. In LCA, you have the option to link script input parameters to the data from different components when using a 'Launch a script' action.
