Data Page not taking parameters when in a section
Hi,
I am calling a data page from a section with a repeating grid layout and i select the option to pass the current parameter page but the page always turns out empty. I review the tracer and in the moment of the load of the data page the parameters always show up empty. The parameters are being set in a pre data transform with the exact same name as defined in the data page.
Is this the right behaviour?

Oscar,
What is the name of the page you are setting values for in the data transform?

Oscar,
I am not sure I understand what you are doing but I don't think it can work that way. The parameter page does not get set using data transform, it may be possible but I can't even find the parameter "page" on the clipboard so I do not think what you are trying to do will ever work.
Parameter pages are set on a rule by the rule that is calling it. Example:
A Flow Action (FA) References a Section (S) which has a Section Include of a Section (SI) that references a Data Page (D_). D_ takes a param named MyParam. When SI references D_ there will be an option to supply the parameter. At this point there are 2 options
1. hard code in a text value
2. Add a param to SI and let S pass a value to SI as param that then will be passed to D_. If you do this SI can either pass the parameter to D_ using the param.paramName convention or if the param on SI is named identical to the param defined on D_ then you can just check "Pass current paramater page".
If you want the FA to actually determine the param value then S must also declare a param and have FA pass the actual value in. You will notice that in FA there is a "Param" button right were it references S.
So in conclussion: D_, SI, and S all define a parameter on there parameter tab. FA Passes a value to S's param. S passes it param to SI's param which passes its param to D_.
I hope this helps, let me know if you have follow up questions;
