How do I pass lists (and other information) from the parent models global variable to it's child's model global variable in Netlogo's LevelSpace - netlogo

Question

I'm currently building a multi level ABM using Levelspace. I am also using the extrawidget extension as a frontend GUI for entering and capturing user information. The extrawidget GUI is a stand alone Netlogo model and serves as the parent model in Levelspace. Some of the captured information is stored as lists in the parent models global variables.
I am trying pass the content of the extrawidget parent model global variables (particularly the lists) to the child model's global variables. I cannot seem to find a way to accomplish this. I've tried "ls:let" in conjunction with "ls:ask" to set the child models global variable but that did not work. I used "ls:assign" but that was unsuccessful also.
I believe some kind of reporter in both the parent and child model may be the answer but I am unable to determine how to code something like that.
Could someone please assist me in solving this problem.
Thanks
Rudy

I discovered that ls:assign did work, "clear-all" in the child model's setup command wiped out the information in global variables. I removed the "clear-all" and can see the lists in monitors I added for the global variables but even though the lists are there I'm still getting this error message when the child model attempts to run "setup"
" Extension exception: Model 0 (Scaled Agile Simulator1.nlogo) encountered an error: ITEM expected input to be a string or list but got the number 0 instead.
error while observer running LS:ASK
called by procedure SETUP
called by procedure __EVALUATOR"
I have included the child model setup code below:
to setup
ls:reset
;clear-all
let n length TotEpics
foreach n-values n [ [i] -> i ] [ [i] ->
create-Epics 1 [
setxy -20 20
set label item i TotEpics
set Complex item i EpicCmplx
set Stories item i EpicStories
set ETime [ ]
set Tasks1 EpicTasks1
set Tasks2 EpicTasks2
set Tasks3 EpicTasks3
set Tasks4 EpicTasks4
set shape "box"
set size 8
]
]
let o length ScrumTN1
foreach n-values o [ [i] -> i ] [ [i] ->
create-Scrum-Teams 1 [
set label item i ScrumTN1
set shape "Scrum"
set color color
set Members item i ScrumTM1
set Strat item i ScrumStrt1
set AsgnEpic item i ScrmEpic1
set S-Stories 0
set Cost item i ScrumCst1
set Value [ ]
set Time [ ]
set S-Story-Size 0
set xcor -16
set ycor 12 + i * -7
set size 4.5
ls:create-interactive-models 1 "Problem_Solving_in_Networks WIP.nlogo"
set model-id last ls:models
ls:hide model-id
]
]
let b length ScrumTN2
foreach n-values b [ [i] -> i ] [ [i] ->
create-Scrum-Teams 1 [
set label item i ScrumTN2
set shape "Scrum"
set color item i Color1
set Members item i ScrumTM2
set Strat item i ScrumStrt2
set AsgnEpic item i ScrmEpic2
set S-Stories 0
set Cost item i ScrumCst2
set Value [ ]
set Time [ ]
set S-Story-Size 0
set xcor -4.5
set ycor 12 + i * -7
set size 4.5
ls:create-interactive-models 1 "Problem_Solving_in_Networks WIP.nlogo"
set model-id last ls:models
ls:hide model-id
]
]
let p length KanbanTN3
foreach n-values p [ [i] -> i ] [ [i] ->
create-Kanban-Teams 1 [
set label item i KanbanTN3
set shape "Kanban"
set color color
set xcor -18 + i * 9
set ycor -20
set size 4.5
ls:create-interactive-models 1 "Kanban3_v5_2.nlogo"
set model-id last ls:models
ls:hide model-id
]
]
All the "variables" in "set variable-name item i variables" are lists so I'm not expecting to see the error message stating "ITEM expected input to be a string or list but got the number 0 instead"
Anyone have any insights?
Thanks
Rudy

I've discovered some missing code in my setup command causing this "ERROR". Please disregard my question. If I run into any serious roadblocks I'll reach out.
