Reading values passed in URL to application

Hi there!

I am attempting to have a value passed in to an application that I build via the URL - this would be useful as I can provide a link in an email that will take a user directly to the entry.

Currently, I have attempted the following:

Value:

"%session.context.initialValueIn.contextValue.adjID%"

However, I am receiving an error:

I have also attempted to create a condition that first checks if the value is ‘undefined’ before trying to update TransView with the value, but I believe that it simply doesn’t recognize the ‘adjID’ context at all.

What is the proper way to do this? I would like to be able to pass a value in the URL such as:

I can’t seem to figure out how Epicor handles this in their applications as well.

where is this ‘deep linking’ coming from?

Look at the Share button in the overflow menu. It will generate the deep link.

This link does not work for my use-case - I have built this application fully from scratch using UD02.

For example, if I generate this deep link after going to ID 15 manually:

Then the link will not take me to ID 15 in my application - this will take me to the regular landing page of my application:

I am looking to pass the ID within the URL - this ‘share’ button seems to generate just a regular link to the base application.

How does Epicor declare variables that can be included in the URL?

Can you paste an anonymized link here? I get the landing page when I try to create my own but the share one goes to the correct record…sometimes. Maybe it’s app-related and some work while others don’t?

Attempted to anonymize - not sure if channelID matters so I redacted some characters from there.

It is a fully custom app so this is definitely the issue - from what I can see from Epicor’s purchase order entry is, for example, they have directly in the URL TransView.PONum=16487
example end of URL:
&site=Main&pageId=Details&KeyFields.PONum=16487%60&pageChanged=true

Then, inside the application the only functionality that I could find around this is:

Trying this exact same thing does not work in my application. Additionally, I have tried adding KeyFields the same as them and initializing the value to 0 on_load as they also do this prior to the setIDFromValueIN being called.
