I have a data service with parameters, but I can't figure out how to use it in a widget so that it doesn't just always use the default parameters.

Hey there - normally I do this by sending a context message from another widget. I would create a widget that has a list of customers, once the user selects an item from the customer list, the second widget can receive that message and can filter by customer number.
