Setting a variable with a script parameter

[Mif]

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.

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.
