How can I pass a variable in one dashboard to a variable in another using the same variable name

If my load script in dashboard A looks like this:

SET vSearchValue ='New York ';

Then behind a Button add this in Dashboard A to goto Dashboard B:

under Navigation pick: Open a Website or email

Add Website URL: 'https://qlik/sense/app/APPID/SHEET/SHEETID/state/analysis/....??????/$(vSearchValue)'

Now how does Dashboard B accept the variable parameter passed above?

Assuming Dashboard B has an empty variable Defined in the load script: 

SET vSearchValue =' ';

Hi @coleturegroup ,

passing a variable value via the URL is not possible without any extension.
You can only pass a selection on a field via the URL. 

Add after ....state/analysis/Select/<Field>/<Value> to your URL.

You could make a dummy table with the field searchValue and then pass NewYork into that.
Depends on what you want to do with that information after, but I don't understand why it has to be a variable in your case.

Hi @coleturegroup..Please could you elaborate your requirements. I think this is possible using Qlik Automation but before that can you please explain your requirements in detail.

I am not able to purchase any additional Qlik licenses so all I have is the latest release of Qlik Sense.

In its basic terms, I need to set a variable in App A to 'New York', and then link to App B passing that variable setting the value of that App B variable equal to 'New York'

Seams simple enough but can't get it to work
