Hi! Is there anyway we can pass dynamic context to the graphql query when used with CMS React?  
Using this simlpe query doesn’t work:

```lia-code-sample
export const query =`
# $product_uid: "foo"
query MyQuery($product_uid: String!) {
 HUBDB {
 my_product_collection(limit: 3, filter: {product_uid__contains: $product_uid}) {
 items {
 product_name
 }
 }
 }
}
`

```

Hey, @royyanbach 👋 Thanks for the question. I’d like to invite some of our community members to the conversation — @Teun @Kevin-C @ChrisoKlepke do you have any recent experience here?

Best,

@royyanbach I believe your approach should work when deployed, as we’ve successfully used that approach numerous times. It just doesn’t work when running the project locally for some reason. 😕

@royyanbach if you need the query to work locally, you can set a default value for $product\_uid like so:

```lia-code-sample
export const query =`
# $product_uid: "foo"
query MyQuery($product_uid: String! = "foo") {
 HUBDB {
 my_product_collection(limit: 3, filter: {product_uid__contains: $product_uid}) {
 items {
 product_name
 }
 }
 }
}

```
