   Is there a command to feed to a list view widget that captures the ID of the current on screen record? 
   
   For example , if I have a read only form that is displaying a number of fields from a custom entity, is there a way to display a single record listview of the same content on this read only form? 
   
   I cannot figure out how to use a listview to ONLY show content from the record on screen, I don't know how to get the record id of the on screen record to be a filter for the listview the same way contact ID can be used to filter .
   
   Is there any variable that stores the on screen record's guid to use to filter a list view?

   Hello Mike,
   
   
   How are you currently populating the read-only form on the page?
   
   
   My suggestion would be to use a query string to populate your listview, and depending on how you are accomplishing the above, it may be a very simple solution (if you are editing a record to go to the read-only form, there is likely already an ID in the URL as a query string). If not, we need to retrieve the ID from somewhere on the page and manually set the query string.
   
   
   All the best,
