In short, aren’t you saying you need the value of some tag in a flowcard?  
(tag = system/app variables, variable = user managed variable)

Thanks for the answer but

No not inside A Flowcard. Inside a Script coded in Advanced Flow setup not inside the app. Im asking for the javascript code.ö

Any answer Chatgpt gave me Ended in Errors like “unknown argument”

Got it (I hope 😜 ). To pass that argument to the Homeyscript code in the card, you’d use

`const argumentName = args[0];`

It’s also in the example code in a new card, but not in the clearest way
