Saving query data in variable after additional scope

Queries and Resources
1

I am writing a JS query that will return markdown for a PDF I need to create. Part of it involves triggering an existing query with a parameter and I'm using Additional Scope. I need to save the new query data after it's been triggered by can't for the life of me get it right. Here's what I have:

const data = Line_Items_For_PDF.trigger({additionalScope: {ticket_id: ticketId,}});

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Nick01,

I also had a difficult time getting additionalScope working. Another option is to save the parameters in Temporary State variables and then reference those variables in you query.

Hi @Nick01

Should be as simple as passing the data back to an 'onSuccess' Function like so:

query2.trigger({
  additionalScope:{
    user:"MSD"
  },
  onSuccess:function(Data){
    console.log(Data)
  }
})

Goodluck!

You can also use await! The following should do the trick:

const data = await Line_Items_For_PDF.trigger({additionalScope: {ticket_id: ticketId,}});

Calling trigger on a query in JS returns a Promise that resolves to the query data.
