I have an embedded view that I want to get data out of. Specifically, the view has a checkbox and I want to be able to get its checked status in the view that contains the embedded view. Is there a way to do this, or will I just have to put everything directly in my view instead of in an embedded one? ---

Add a parameter in the embedded view and make it input/output. Will also need to bi-directionally bind the checkbox to the parameter. ---

Oh, okay! I didn’t realize that parameters could be both input and/or output. Thanks!
