    Add the below code to your Aras method. Hope this helps


    wnd.ArasModules.Dialog.show('iframe', params);

    -----in your ShowFormAsADialog.html---------------------

    addd this line

     var  args = window.frameElement.dialogArguments; // get the params from Aras method

    Hi Truc,

    many thanks for answering this question! It´s already a few month old and till today I used the workaround cause I didn´t know a better option.

    I instantly tried your variant. In my case I had to use 'parent' instead of 'window'

    var  args = parent.frameElement.dialogArguments; // get the params from Aras method

    It worked perfectly and I was able to get my custom values from the passed Form parameters.
    I really like this one - thanks again!

    Hi Truc,

    I have tried this  to add custom parameters

    var param = {
    aras: top.aras,
    type: 'SearchDialog',
    dialogWidth: 700,
    dialogHeight: 450,
    itemtypeName: 'sb_Sample',
    multiselect: true,
    sourceItemTypeName: 'sb_Sample',
    sourcePropertyName: 'sb_filter_action',
    parentItem:thisItem1,
    productTypeVal:productType,
    itemContext : testDefArray
    };//Test Definition Param

    var topWnd = top.aras.getMostTopWindowWithAras();
    var wnd = topWnd ? topWnd : window;
    //opening Test definitions search dilog
    wnd.ArasModules.Dialog.show('iframe', param).promise.then(callback);
    var args = window.frameElement.dialogArguments;

    And to get the value to filter in other method

    I added:

    var m_parentItem=inArgs.parentItem;
    var m_productType=inArgs.productTypeVal;

    But I couldn't able to get the value in another method to filter can you check is there any wrong in this code

      It seems you missing --> content:

      var param = {
      aras: top.aras,
      type: 'SearchDialog',
      dialogWidth: 700,
      dialogHeight: 450,
      itemtypeName: 'sb_Sample',
      multiselect: true,
      sourceItemTypeName: 'sb_Sample',
      sourcePropertyName: 'sb_filter_action',
      parentItem:thisItem1,
      productTypeVal:productType,
      itemContext : testDefArray

      content: '../customer/abc.html' // Put path to HTML file here, 
      };

      In the abc.html file , you can catch the variable passed from the triggered method you call.

      var  args = window.frameElement.dialogArguments; // get the params from Aras method

      I'm not sure what you are trying to do in your case, but inArgs is the context variable you get from the event, I could be wrong.

      wnd.ArasModules.Dialog.show('iframe', param).promise.then(callback); // this line of code creates another thread which runs abc.html
