How to access parameters passed to Arcade Script?

As the documentation for workflow 5 is not very detailed lacking solid information I am struggling to figure out how to access a parameter I have set.

 

I have set a parameter as follows,

 

={"startDate" : $formCreatePermit.state.datePickerStartDate.value.value}

 

how do I access the parameter "startDate" in the script part of the Arcade Script?

 

Regards

Marco Giana

  Hello Marco,

   

  I believe that Amanda's answer here would match your use case:

  Thanks, Stefan

  In Arcade you use a "$" prefix to reference variables that are passed into the script. So you'd use $startDate in your case.

  Thanks Stefan and Ryan Amanda's answer does indeed answer my question, I just did not see the "more" link to reveal the script part of her answer. It would be beneficial if that sort of example would be in the documentation.

  I am unable to view Amanda answer above. I got a 404 error. Can I see her answer? Thank you.

  You need to use a parameter name in lower case as shown below.
  ={"startdate" : $formCreatePermit.state.datePickerStartDate.value.value} 
  and then access it from the script with $startdate
