Parameterized URL: startingTemplate parameter

[erikc]

Does anyone has experience with the (new?) startingTemplate URL parameter?
I would like to create a parameterized URL with a particular template, for example "1 column".

This solution is recently documented in the IBM Support Portal but "startingTemplate" isn't a parameter in the general documentation about parameterized URL's.

I've already tried several things both none of them work.

Code Select Expand

&startingTemplate=%2FTemplates%2F1%20column


Code Select Expand

&startingTemplate=1%20column


Code Select Expand

&startingTemplate=%271%20column%27
