addToViewContextDefinitionk

02/25/2021, 1:42 PMyes - that is what Im using, but it only gets added if the child view gets added…. so its pdp.addChildViews(
pdp.PDP_FULL_VIEW
….
pdp.addToViewContextDefinition
the child view gets added under a certain condition and the context gets added

02/25/2021, 1:52 PMsorry - trying to edit this and its not making any sense

02/25/2021, 1:53 PMthe if condition is within the add child views so I can get the pdp info…then either add the child view and change the context or just return nothing
