Passing variables to Action Lists using Include Project

FinalBuilder Discussion
1

Hi,

I'm using the Include action (in what I'll call my "host" project) to call an Action List in a "Utilities" FinalBuilder project.  The Action List has a set of parameters.  I have tried to pass variables from the "host" project in this include action both by sharing the variable namespace and by passing them explicitly.  In both cases the variables end up blank in the "Utilities" project.  Everything works fine when I don't target an Action List (thereby using the "Main" list in the "Utilities" project).

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,

Dave

Hi David,

You do not need to define the variables as Action List parameters, just as project variables in the utilities project. The reason you are seeing blank values is because the action list parameters take precedence over the project variables (which are being set by the include project action) and are not being set.
