We have a variable from our main profile to be referred in the sub profile. Could you please provide the way to refer the same. I tried using the utag.data reference which did not work.

Hi, inheritance is a one way street. You can inherit Data Sources, Load Rules and Extensions from a library (assuming that is what you mean by sub-profile) and then use/refer to those inside the profile.

we currently do not use the libraries...for example, we have a profile "main" which used a variable "abPage"..and profile "data" loads the profile "main" using the Tealium profile loader...and just wanted to know as to how do we refer to "abPage" in "data",

Hi Sri, Have you tried b.abPage ? - all extensions are running in a closure scope like this: function(a,b) { // a === "view" or "link" // b === data layer }

yes Kevin, so tried..."b."...utag.data..."nk" our page data object....and then thought of pinging the tealium team

If you for example create an "all tags" scoped javascript extension inside your sub-loaded profile and put in the code: b.hello = "world"; + publish to e.g. dev or qa. When the utag.js file has the updated timestamp, locate the extension inside utag.js and put a breakpoint on that line inside the extension i.e. function(a,b) closure. - if you can't see the b.abPage data source when the breakpoint is active, then we might need to take a deeper look into it. You can email us at support-emea@tealium.com with page details / what to click on to see the abPage data source in question and we'll be happy to look into it for you.
