I have created a popup window with “TagPath” as a parameter. I am trying to pass some data into it but it doesn’t seem to be passing anything.  
below is the code.

Since you’re not complaining about an error, I imagine you’ve set up the Custom Property on the popup window:

![param2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/7/7f018b574a201602fad3487d4c0a041ea68e2617.png)

![param1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/d/d1e77db72d29248be7aa53c7601b845401c8d0fd.png)

If that’s not the problem, I would make sure param1 contains what you want… something like `print event.source.TagPath` or `print param1` on line 7, then check the console

I have the property in the popup window.  
I added that line into the script but nothing shows up in the console.

So it sounds like param1 isn’t getting loaded up with data

Have you tried just sending a string?

`window = system.nav.openWindow('ItemConfig', {'TagPath' : 'test tag path'}`

?

If that works then you know for sure param1 is just empty

I should have had you do `print 'param1: ' + param1` because it would be more apparent if param1 was empty or not
