How do you send custom fields between 2 apps when side by side in Eikon?
For instance, in the same way the following 4 apps are linked and therefore show information about the same RIC,
how do you use the same mechanism so that 2 apps could send to each other not only a RIC but also price, yield, etc. The first app would be trading app and the second app would be a calculator for instance?

You can do this in JET today through regular context passing that will go through color linking channels.
For example:
JET.contextChange([{RIC:"IBM.N",fields:{foo:"bar"}}]);
Will give you a ContextChange event with the following data payload:
[
{
"IdentifierList": [ "RIC" ],
"FieldList": [ "foo" ],
"RIC": "IBM.N",
"fields": { "foo": "bar" }
}
]
So you can send along the yield, price, etc for each RIC. The receiving Apps just need to know about these additional fields.
