I guess the answer lies here : https://openstagecontrol.ammd.net/docs/advanced-property-syntax/

Your question is hard to understand though, you might want to put some extra effort in explaining your use case in order to get help.

Ok, the simplest way for this is to define the name in the first modal’s variables property instead of using its id. Since the default value for variables is @{parent.variables}, the inner modal will also pass the name to its children and you’ll be able to retrieve it anywhere in the modal.

Long story short, you can set the first modal’s variables property to {"name": "01"} or {"name": "@{this.id}"} and retreive it with @{parent.variables.name}.
