Pass parameter into embedded view table

OK I couldn’t figure this out but I gave it a good solid try. I put it down for a little while and came back to it, and still can’t figure it out so I am revisiting the help section.

I have tried recreating this every which way I possibly can. I tried the Ignition examples, but nothing I tried would ever actually make any changes to the dataset. Sometimes when I struggle with something I try to create it as simply as I can, with little to no loops and just see if I can structure something appropriately, but nothing It try seems to work. I hate to ask somebody to do this for me, but can somebody give me a push in the right direction?

I understand this example I’m using is a terrible way to do things, but this was my attempt to just manually build a table as easily as possible.

You can see here even in my second example, the most simple of scripts won’t make a change to the dataset.


On that note, why is the scripting languages such a hodgepodge of different languages? I can’t use python help, because half the time the stuff I find on python doesn’t seem to work in the scripting window. The only options I have are Ignition examples, and every person on here seems to assume that I can script whatever I want in this stuff when I don’t even understand what language this is or what rules it follows, what functions or libraries I have available to me. I find it very frustrating as a new user to find such inconsistency with the behavior.
