Your later posts suggest that you're not sending a file path (a path to a file on a data storage device) but rather sending a parameter to a view.

View parameters are only read when the view first loads so that probably isn't what you want.

Describe in details what you want to achieve and what you have tried so far. Please see [Wiki - how to post code on this forum](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/wiki-how-to-post-code-on-this-forum/77831).
