Hello,

By Using Following method we can use particular object detail in the scripting  
“event.source.parent.getComponent(‘NAME’).text”  
so it is working fine now, but if i am using template object on another screen, so how can we mention this template object detail like root container in the scripting of that another screen.

is there any solution ?
