Using Set Variable across different files?

[Fuge]

I see how to define and use "Set Variable" within a single file... but is there a way to use "Set Variable" to pass variables to different files?

Am I missing something here?

Many Thanks to all the FM Guru's out there!

You can pass data to a script in another file by using the script parameter.

Ahh... makes sense but how would you pass several variables since there's only one field?

Thanks for the insight!

I think I've seen about a million ways to do that - mostly involving custom functions to set/retrieve named values in a text "array" - but I still believe this one is the most elegant:

Of course, in most situations a single value passing the key should be sufficient. Once you have used that to establish a relationship, you can access the original data at its source.

I couldn't agree more, and especially the solution provided in this post:

But the original question says

Maybe, the original poster should update their profile in Control Panel, so it will match with the specification that shows in the OP's question...

Because we provide two ways to tell us what version is involved.

The one in the profile is used to let us know what version you use all of the time.

The version in the Question is to be used if the question is on a different version than the profile.

In other words, you don't always work on the same version that you own.
