Add a custom queryhandler to your model's serverinterface, as described in the Instance Queries section of https://docs.flexsim.com/en/Reference/DeveloperAdvancedUser/Webserver/#custom

From your web page, send the query with an http request. In your query handler, set the table's value.

I can create instance by below command

http://127.0.0.1/webserver.dll?createinstance=tutorials\FlexSim%202020%20Update%202\Test01

I created below html. The returned value is 1. But it doesn't work.

<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="http://127.0.0.1/webserver.dll?submitjob" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="job" value='{"modelname":"tutorials\\FlexSim%202020%20Update%202\\Test01","timeout":3600,"priority":5,"setupcommands":[{"command":"settable=GlobalTable1","data":"values=[[\"firstParam\",1],[\"secondParam\",2],[\"thirdParam\",3]]"}]}'>
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>

Thank you for advice.

Did Test01 have a GlobalTable1 saved in it already?

And how are you checking that the value changed in the new instance of FlexSim and the model that it loaded?

I posted below command to FlexSim Web server.

http://127.0.0.1/webserver.dll?createinstance=tutorials\FlexSim%202020%20Update%202\Test01

I saw the new instance of the model in FlexSim.

After that, I ran the html and clicked submit button and I checked the value of the new instance of the model.

The form in your html is sending a "submitjob" query. You aren't querying a specific instance. The "submitjob" query adds the job to a list of jobs to run on the server by creating an instance for each job, as explained in the Jobs section of https://docs.flexsim.com/en/Reference/DeveloperAdvancedUser/Webserver/

If you want to query an open instance, you don't use "submitjob". You use "queryinstance" as explained in the Instance Queries section of the documentation (just after the Jobs section).

I understand how it works.

However, the documentation does not describe how the parameters are received by FlexScript.

Table gt = Table("GlobalTable1");
gt[1][1] = 123; // OK
gt[1][2] = parameter_name; // ???
