Passing a custom template parameter to the same parameter on a pop-up window

I'm putting together control for multi-zone temperature control using a Zone Template. I have indirect addressing, using a template parameter 'string' called "Zone". All the zone parameters are in the same AOI data type in Studio 5000, so indirect addressing is working great.

I have a "basic" template screen that's visible on the main page, but I'd like to open a pop-up window and pass the "Zone" string to the custom parameter used on another template placed on that pop-up window. This pop-up has all the "details" of the zone. I can't quite figure out the strategy to do this. I'm guessing it's in scripting, but I'm striking out so far. I'm sure this is a pretty basic action, can you help me understand how to do it?

Your popup window will need a parameter that you'll pass it when you open the popup. You'll then need to pass that to your template embedded on that popup if I'm understanding you correctly.

"You'll then need to pass that to your template embedded..."

Yes, I understand that. I don't know how to pass it.

To pass the parameter to your popup, there's an option to pass parameters:

Then on that popup, you'll bind your template custom parameter to your custom parameter on the popup.

Great, thank you very much!!! I knew I'd seen it before, but I didn't expect it on the Navigation tab. I looked right past it, over and over.
