How to Access Parameters in New Form

Question

I have a custom button that I have the below JavaScript attached to that opens an entity form and I am trying to pass viewName to it.

function sendContextToQC(selectedControl) {
    var entityFormOptions = {};
    entityFormOptions["entityName"] = "new_qrecipemasteritem";
    entityFormOptions["useQuickCreateForm"] = true;

    var currentView = selectedControl.getViewSelector().getCurrentView().name;

    var formParameters = {};
    formParameters["viewName"] = currentView

    Xrm.Navigation.openForm(entityFormOptions, formParameters).then(
        function (success) {
            console.log(success);
        },
        function (error) {
            console.log(error);
        });
}

The form opens fine and I have the "Pass Execution Context as first parameter" checked, but I don't know how to access the formparameters object. Is it part of the executionContext? I even tried adding another parameter (formParameters), but that didn't work either.

I figured it out. To send parameter:

function sendContextToQC(selectedControl) {
var entityFormOptions = {};
entityFormOptions["entityName"] = "new_qrecipemasteritem";
entityFormOptions["useQuickCreateForm"] = true;

var currentView = selectedControl.getViewSelector().getCurrentView().name;

var formParameters = {};
if (currentView.includes("Master") == true) {
    formParameters["isMasterView"] = 1;
 }
 else {
    formParameters["isMasterView"] = 0;
}

Xrm.Navigation.openForm(entityFormOptions, formParameters).then(
    function (success) {
        console.log(success);
    },
    function (error) {
        console.log(error);
    });
} 

Then to pick it up onload. The key below is buttonData = Xrm.Utility.getPageContext().input. Data;

this.hideUsedIn = function(executionContext) {
    let formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
    let usedInAttribute = formContext.getAttribute("new_usedin");
    let usedInControl = formContext.getControl("new_usedin");
   
    let buttonData = {};
    buttonData = Xrm.Utility.getPageContext().input.data;
    let isMasterItem = buttonData.isMasterView;
    
    if (isMasterItem === 1){
    usedInAttribute.setRequiredLevel("none");
    usedInControl.setVisible(false);
    }
}
