Thank you for all your replies, they are very helpful. I had seen the
action-event how to and had read about the action.eventsubmit.needsvalue
property but it had not made sense until last night. A fundamental
understanding of how action events and parameters are passed from form to
backend was achieved last night, which makes this much easier. As you say,
there is no difference between addQeueryData, addPathInfo, etc, since they
create the same signature and that is what the backend looks for (btw, I got
the addQueryData stuff from archived turbine list responses, I think this is
the first time that the action event thread has been this thoroughly and
correctly responded to). Thank you all for your responses, they were very
helpful!
cheers,
Luke Majewski
