Hello М,

The best way to get the value of the parent widget is to use JavaScript. For instance, you can retrieve `companyId` dropdownlist and get its value using the available API:

http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/dropdownlist#methods-value

<script>
  function parameterMap(options,type) {
     var companyIdWidget = $("#companyId").data("kendoDropDownList");

     alert(companyIdWidget.value());

     return JSON.stringify(options);
  }
</script>
