Is it possible for multiple datalists in a section in BBECRM to share the same parameters?

If there a 4 datalists in a section, is it possible to have the 4 datalists share parameters instead of having each datalist have their own parameter?

    @Meg Puffer if I am understanding the question, the Page spec in the SDK allows for associating parameters between sections. Within the Data list area of the page section there is a <ParameterSection> element with child <FieldMappings> element. This allows you to specific the section from where the parameters are being passed in (using ID on the ParameterSection element) and then map the source parameter to the target within the FieldMappings. This mapping would be done on the data list that parameters are being passed to.

    Hope that fits your use case. Please let me know if I can add any more clarity to my writings.

    Hi Dan, Thanks so much for your reply. I would like to be able to enter the date parameters once instead of for each datalist. Would be able to provide an example?
