Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.In Drupal 7, with Panels, you could configure Views arguments to come from Pane context. For example, you could say that a Views argument gets it's value from a field on the Node context:
Drupal 8, it's possible to configure Views arguments to come from Block context, but only contexts that take entities, and the entity id is always passed into the argument - you can't configure the value to come from a field on the entity, for example.
I propose adding a similar configuration to Panopoly 2.x, which allows you to configure the argument value to come from any context type (including plain strings), and allow using tokens to extract sub-values from entities:

dsnopekPatch to implement is attached!
It works in my testing. The main thing I don't like about it is having to duplicate so much code from
ViewsBlock::build()but I don't think there's any way around that.Comment #3
dsnopekEarly reports indicate that this is working! I'm going to be bold and merge :-)
