    Hi Suhas,

    see my reply below. You can pass any information from Method A to Method B by setting properties on the item you apply the method on:

    // we have an Innovator object called inn
    var methodItem = inn.newItem("Method");
    methodItem.setProperty("some_info_for_method_b", "value for that info");
    var resultItem = methodItem.apply("Method B");

    You can then access some_info_for_method_b in Method B with

    string info = this.getProperty("some_info_for_method_b", "")

    Of course, you can set as many of those auxiliary properties as you like, or pass all method arguments in one property, separated by commas.

    Hope this helps,

Hi Suhas,

The applyMethod function will cause a client-side error dialog to show up.  You'll want to use the inn.apply() function instead.

Try replacing the line "Item X = etc." from Method A with

Item X = inn.newItem("Method", "Method_B");
X = X.apply();

This should make everything else work as is.

    Hello Kate,

    How to pass parameter(argument) to Method_B? with the help of setProperty()?

    Regards,
