I have created a REST data source (called ChuckNorris), which seems to work fine.

I have then also created a “Model” to represent a call out to this data source… but I “need” to include a field from _another_ model in the the Data Source URL. Is that possible? Here is the data source definition as it currently stands:

So as you can see, I am trying to tokenize the firstName parameter in the GET URL. Ideally, I just wanted to put the AccountName for this whole page in there. I have a standard Salesforce Model called AccountHigh (as in high level) which has a couple of fields in, including the name. I couldn’t get this to work though, so I tried to make a UI-Only model called AccountName - which just takes the Name field from the AccountHigh model.

It was my understanding that UI-Only models can be referenced from page components which are otherwise associated with other models (ie… they are kind of more “global” ?) - it still doesn’t come out with anything though.

What I am ultimately doing is then putting this “Chuck” model from the REST data source into a Template… like this:

and

which does work on the page just fine… however,

(TL;DR question summary:)
Because of the problem with including the AccountHigh or AccountName model in the Chuck REST data source model, my firstName parameter is being sent over empty. How might one reference fields like Account.Name in the Chuck model?

Thanks a lot. Still loving Skuid…
