Yes you Could make use of QueryString  then in contour have a hidden field with default value [@yourQueryString]

I haven't tried that!

I have tried #pageHeading, which is the alias of the event name but that just renders as: "pageHeading" !!!

I'll try @pageHeading (from a queryString)

Thanks

Try something like this

 <a  href="/your-url/?Title=@Model.pageHeading">...</a>

Then in your contour form you can get a HiddenField with Default Value

[@Title]

Just set the caption to [#propertyAlias] that should do the trick

Tim, I've done that: Created a hidden field set the default value to #pageHeading, returned  "pageHeading", then I set the caption to the #pageHeading with the same result.

I've even tried enclosing them in sqaure brackets: [#pageHeading]. Still with the same result.

Any further sugestions?

Ok can you tell me umbraco version and if you are using usercontrol or razor macro

Thanks :)

Umbraco version 4.11, how would I know if Contour is usercontrol or razor macro?

Check where you inserted the macro what alias the macro has :)

Will do.

Tim, it's a Razor macro. Would that make a difference?

Yeah make sure you are running the latest Contour version since you might be running an older version where this wasn't possible yet

To upgrade check http://our.umbraco.org/projects/umbraco-pro/contour/documentation/Installation/Upgrade

The version I am using is 3.0.9. Does this support page field inclusion?

Think you'll need a more recent version 

Hi Tim, 

I have Umbraco Contour version 3.0.17 and use razor macro to add form to template. I can populate contour form fields with custom document properties(e.g. shortTitle etc) using [#propertyAlias] notation. I need to assign the id of current document to a hidden field. When i try [#id] i can not get document id. 

Any advice?

TIA

Update : I found the syntax to pass query string to contour : [@pid] . The trick is parameter name must be at least 2 characters long. 

Plus, to insert document properties  [#pageID] syntax is available.
