How to pass a variable into a field moniker

[EST]

I am trying to streamline my system and re-use code where I can. So, I am want to use the Global actions more and to do that I need to pass either a variable or Action Parameter from either a button on the IV or a remote control to the Global Action. This variable will be the room name so the Global action can act according to the room name.

I have variables driver set for each room - Variables_AV.VideoSource_xxx
xxx = Room names

I can pass the value I want but I cannot get it into the field moniker in the Global Action

If System Equals($(Variables_AV.VideoSource_%(LVar:CQCActParm_1)))

would convert to after passing the variable from the button:

If System Equals($(Variables_AV.VideoSource_Office))

I recall doing this a long time ago but cannot find my notes or through a site search.

Deleted. Not a helpful response.

You can't have nested tokens. You either have to concatenate them into a single local variable first. Or, in your case, use a field read call instead of doing it with a token, so:

Devices::ReadField(Variables_AV.VideoSource_%(LVar:CQCActParm_1), LVar:ToFill, False);

Something like that. That way you don't have to use a nested token to do it.

Worked perfectly. Called the Global action from the button/IV, sent the Action param to the Global action and used the FieldRead.

Thanks
