Hi

I have one common method in my robot script  
Get Source and Send to DB  
[Arguments] ${api\_url} ${id} ${page\_name1} ${page\_name2} ${page\_name4} ${page\_name5} ${page\_name6} ${page\_name7} ${page\_name8} ${page\_name9}

Whenever I have call common method

```
Get Source and Send to DB 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

```

I have to pass all these parameter all the time. Is there any best way to pass that in single object and refer  
I want to understand all the best approaches

Hello,

You can use this magic trick : ).

```python
    Run Magic Keyword
        [Arguments] ${KW} @{KWARGS}
        (Do Something)

```

EX Use:

```python
Run Magic Keyword 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

```

=\> Use this way, you can pass as many as you want args to this keyword.

Cheers,

How to read values from @{KWARGS} and ${KW} inside that method

I want to log values

What is first parameter ${KW} …how many values we can pass and fetch  
what is second parameter @{KWARGS}…how many values we can pass in that and how to fetch

I have used like below  
Run Magic Keyword  
[Arguments] ${KW} @{KWARGS}  
Log ${KW}  
Log ${KWARGS}  
Log @{KWARGS}  
:FOR ${arg} IN @{kwargs}  
${key} ${value}= Evaluate “${arg}”.split(“=”)  
Log ${key}, ${value}

I am getting undefined keyword FOR

I also tried above code -Getting error saying unexpected arguments
