Right…makes sense, forgot about that. What if I am trying to bring in a parameter to the URL? I thought configuring the session startup script would allow me to change the value of the parameter within the URL. If you go to a different page and then go back to that same “home” page the parameter does correctly get populated in the URL.

Here are my project settings with the first one being the “home” page

When I first launch the session the following URL comes up, but the CellId parameter is not populated.

When I navigate back from another page the CellId parameter does populate.

Here is the session script I created in order to populate the CellId on startup

Do I have the formatting incorrect for the session startup script?
