You can add a selection changed code to set the user state

BRApi.State.SetUserState(si, False, ClientModuleType.Windows,"","","POV","","Value", Nothing)

Now on the dashboard launch event do a GetUserState

'Get the state value	
dim stateValue as string = String.empty			
				Dim userState As XFUserState = BRApi.State.GetUserState(si, False, ClientModuleType.Windows, String.Empty, String.Empty, stateKey, String.Empty)

					stateValue = userState.TextValue
				End If

 and add the value to the modifiedcustomsubstvars.

loadDashboardTaskResult.ModifiedCustomSubstVars.Add("ParamName", stateValue)
