Is {{context}} supported by RunWorkflowByUrlAndInputs?

Is {{context}} supported by RunWorkflowByUrlAndInputs? For instance if I run a workflow from the map's context menu? It looks as if the literal text "{{context}}" is passed. But maybe I'm overlooking something. This is my command parameter:

{ "url": "https://my_org.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=the_guid", "inputs": { "geometry":"{{context}}" } }

  Hi Berend,

   

  The {{context}} replacement token is supported, but there's a catch. It doesn't work if it is nested more than one level deep in your JSON snippet. The good news is that the RunWorkflowByUrlAndInputs command has some extra logic to work around this. You can flatten the "inputs" object like this and it will work:

  { "url": "https://my_org.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=the_guid", "geometry":"{{context}}" }

   

  You can read more about running workflows from menus here: https://docs.geocortex.com/workflow/latest/help/Default.htm#wf5/help/run-workflows-in-gvh.htm#Use_a_Context_Menu_Item_to_Run_a_Workflow_with_Inputs%3FTocPath%3DRun%2520Workflows%7CRun%2520Workflows%2520in%2520the%2520Geocortex%2520Viewer%2520for%2520HTML5%7CRun%2520a%2520Workflow%2520with%2520Inputs%7C_____2

  Hi Ryna, Thanks for your reply. It seems to be a documentation issue, in one place parameters are nested (within inputs), in another they are flattened. I already filed a support case for this.
