In Magento 1 I sometimes used this way to pass an argument to a category, directly from the back office




Category > Custom Design tab > XML Design Update




<reference name="product_list">
<action method="setData"><key>giftCardId</key><value>955</value></action>
</reference>


Could you tell me what will be the equivalent syntax in Magento 2, Using the same way:




Category > Design > Layout Update XML




The main idea is to pass a value for a specific category, that could be retrieved in a custom module in frontend.



Edit: I know that I can add a custom category attribute to do that too, but the point is really, does an equivalent syntax exists.

  • why are you not adding this thing in your module layout xml? you can pass data in block xml and retrieve in template

  • @bhargavshastri because i want the magento store owner to change this parameter without my help, and it should be different for different categories
