Add feature for use of global keywords in Content Pages/Content Templates
in progress

Nick
We would like to request a way to use keywords/global variables (or send data to) the new DXP Components. We would like to share data and avoid hardcoding of information across our pages.
This of course currently works in Standard Pages in the following way:
%globals_metadata_product_rate:123456%
This worked pretty well for us but we'd love to see something fit for the new components and templates. Maybe even a handlebars like-solution:
{{apply_link}} or {{product.apply_link}}
We'd love your support on any of the following:
- Allow Squiz Keywords (global/page-level variables) to resolve within DXP Component input fields
- Enable passing data from the page context into DXP Components (e.g. via props or bindings)
- Provide DXP Components with access to resolved keyword values in some way
- And also have a clear and robust way to manage what data is passed down to a page or component, including support for overrides where needed.
Thanks!

Hi Manjeet, I do have an update on this feature!
The capability to support Matrix keywords in content pages is in active development and will shortly be progressing to beta. It is currently planned on our roadmap for release in February, but talk to your Customer Experience Manager if you are interested in getting involved in our beta program earlier than that.
Best regards,
Cam, Product Lead

Hi team,
Is there any update on making matrix keywords or global keywords resolve within content on the Component Service components?
We use matrix keywords inside WYSIWYG to displya file size.
Example: Guideline %asset_summary_180193%
Thanks

Thanks for the idea Nick! We are actively investigating how we can bring some content sharing & re-use solutions into our components and content pages. We hope to be able to share some roadmap updates to this effect in the coming months. Stay tuned!
Thanks,
Cam
