[FX.php List] Passing Parameters for Perform Script Step

[Malcolm Fitzgerald]

I appreciate your efforts. The URL scheme is a good idea and this is in v12 so it is applicable. 

Did I forget to say that this job is to change passwords. Call me old-fashioned but I don't want the passwords flying around in the URL. I'll have someone telling me they've book-marked the thing.

I'm going to try passing the value to a global field and if it isn't satisfactory I'll switch to FM API for this particular job.
