I don't get why this script isn't working. Is there a better way?

Set Variable [$scriptP;Value:Get(ScriptParameter)]

I have several buttons that would use the same script other than a value unique to the button so I am trying to modularize my scripts and use a script parameter instead.

It should be working the way you have it. It's also totally redundant, since the script parameter is a variable too, and it's available directly throughout the entire scope of the script.

Thanks comment,

You're right, it is redundant. Maybe that's why it didn't take.

Instead I just set a temp field with the script parameter directly and it works fine.

Maybe that's why it didn't take.

No, it should still work. How have you determined that it's not?

And what's the point of setting a field to the same value? IOW, what exactly are you trying to do?

There is a point to what you are doing - if you use a $$variable.

$$variables can be carried through to other scripts without needing to pass them as a subsequent ScriptParameter.
