External link client variable parameter

Hello,

I built a web page to read some data from IFS (plsql calls with ODBC)
I need to add external links on IFS pages as Sales Part for exemple.
I need to pass two parameters into the URL.
One of those is the user language, available in client variable in events as ##USER_LANGUAGE##
My problem is I can not chose the parameter in the parameter list, it doesn’t show.


I also tried to set the parameter directly in URL using events syntax :
- lang=#USER_LANGUAGE##​​​​
- lang=${USER_LANGUAGE}
- lang=${#USER_LANGUAGE#}

I already had the same issue for the user id and I created a custom field which reads the user id throught PLSQL function, which is not a good way to achieve it on my opinion.

Do you know another way to achieve this ?

Thank you

@REOGIRARD  I think the workflow in this case would be used to fill in values when your projection action is executed. I also don’t prefer this method.

This was a good idea but workflow can’t trigger a redirection to an external link or I did not found the way to achieve it.
You can use the IFS Rest Call type task but it works like an HTTP client you would use to recover data from external source which is not my goal.

Ok I understand, got to try this but I already went throught my first idea to achieve my task, which must not be costly in DB ressources at this point.
Thank you for your support :) have a good day
