Mapkey to store parameter value and reuse in another parameter

Have you tried using relations? You could set the new parameter equal to an existing one and then delete the relation. If you have existing relations, you'll probably want to export them, create the new parameter with it's relation, then re-import the original relations (which will delete the parameter relation at the same time).

Do you want to use the new UI or the old?

The new UI records if you press Ctrl+C  and Ctrl+V, so yes, you should be able to do this with just a mapkey.

The old UI I think doesn't allow copy/paste, you have to get the value some other way. Maybe parameters->Info and then read the value from the Param.inf file?

Something like this for the new UI:

mapkey $F2 ~ Command `ProCmdMmParams` ;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Select `relation_dlg` `ParamsPHLay.ParTable` 2 `rowPARAMETER_1` `value`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Key `relation_dlg` `ParamsPHLay.ParTable` 37945347 `Ctrl+C`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Select `relation_dlg` `ParamsPHLay.ParTable` 2 `rowPARAMETER_2` `value`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Key `relation_dlg` `ParamsPHLay.ParTable` 39190550 `Ctrl+V`;

Just replace "PARAMETER_1" and "PARAMETER_2" with yours and try it.

Hello David,

looks as if there have been two good advices.

Have you been able to successfully make use of them.
