Do web blocks have access to the parent’s scope in OutSystems?

In OutSystems, web blocks do not have direct access to the parent’s scope. Each web block functions as a self-contained component, meaning it does not inherit or directly access the variables or context of the parent screen or web block. This encapsulation is crucial for maintaining modularity and reusability, as it prevents dependencies on the parent context.

While components like web blocks can receive input parameters, they do not automatically have access to the variables defined in the parent scope unless those variables are specifically passed as input parameters to the web block. This restriction is part of OutSystems' design to ensure that web blocks remain reusable across different contexts without being tightly coupled to their parent components.

Other options imply varying degrees of access to the parent's scope, but none align with the OutSystems model where web blocks maintain their independence unless parameters are explicitly passed. This design mechanism encourages better practices in application development by ensuring that web blocks are versatile and adaptable in different contexts.
