How to use form global variables in Form DS extension class

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by DAX Dev 2

Hello,

I have an extension class of Form Datasource.

There are some variables declared globally on form.

Is it possible to use them?

If I just type it in the code, compiler can't recognize it.

I want to use it in the CoC method of the same method where it is originally used.

    Try element.variableName to access the form variables.

    Or, you can create CoC extension on the form and add get-method for the variable, then call this method from your DS class.

    element keyword should give you the global variables. If you don't see them in intellisense then still type it and build your object.
