Hi Rob - Firstly thank you for your suggestion and help! I've spent the day attempting to pass parameters like you suggest but without success.

I just did a test using a detail link directly on my view, and I pass my parameter to this link "/?species=[474]"
When I click this detail link on the view, it opens the target page and filters the nested view (using [get param="species"]) on this page as expected.

Using the Modal setup: Clicking my custom link constructed with SQL, which targets the same Detail View i.e.: [frmmodal-content size="large" label="Detail View" species="d.meta_value"] the parameter specified is not used to filter the nested view on the modal pop up?

It seems as if the parameter is not passed in the [frmmodal-content] shortcode - Am I missing something? Or do you have a suggestion of how I can check if the parameter is present on the pop up page?

Here is the URL I create with SQL if it can help with figuring this out:
C0NCAT(
'[frmmodal-content size="large" label="Detail View4" species="', d.meta_value,'"]
[display-frm-data id=1931 entry=',d.item_id,'][/frmmodal-content]'
) AS DetailLink4

I suggest you use WordPress debugging to output the complete shortcode that's being written out and hopefully that'll make it clear why the parameter isn't working. WordPress isn't going to care how you create it, just that its format is correct. You can also try hardcoding a value in for the species and entry values and if it doesn't work, then it's something other than the values themselves.

Some feedback on this issue if it may help anyone in future:

The parameters should be specified in the second shortcode ([display-frm-data]) and not the first i.e.:

[frmmodal-content size="large" label="Details"][display-frm-data id=1931 filter=limited entry="x" param1="value" param2="value"][/frmmodal-content]
