I have a simple dashboard that takes a User ID via a New-UDInputAction, creates a variable $UserID, then fetches a list of AD groups that ID is a member of and displays them in a New-UDTable. That part works fine however, I want to be able to retain the value of $UserID to use in another section of the dashboard and have been unable to do so.
If I use a Scope, it either fails to work at all (pretty sure that’s my fault as I`m not 100% sure where in the code that should be defined) or retains it indefinitely so it is not overwritten with a new value if a new User ID is queried.
Code is below and yeah, it’s not pretty but it works up to a point (like me I guess 
)
I have Toasts set to trigger as progress indicators and the “EMail” button -OnClick should trigger a toast that also contains the $UserID variable.
Is what I`m attempting to do possible ?
Cheers,
