I have a page template referencing a section template and I am trying to use the context variable to change the default image shown for this section to another image in the theme.

Normally, in the template html, I would reference a theme image with

`get_asset_url("../images/theme-image.jpg")`

And in the section template

`img={ "src": context.image || get_asset_url("../images/another-image.jpg") }`

However, in the page template the following gives a template compilation error:

```lia-code-sample
{% include_dnd_partial path="../sections/custom-section.html" 
 context={image: get_asset_url("../images/theme-image.jpg") }
 %}

```

I’ve tried setting a variable to the asset url and assigning that to image. No error is generated but the image is ignored. E.g.

```lia-code-sample
{% set my_image = get_asset_url("../images/theme-image.jpg") %}
{% include_dnd_partial path='../sections/custom-section.html'
 context={
 image: my_image
 }
%}

```

What is the correct way to pass an image src value via the context variable to a section template?

Hi @ChrisSequel

 ![Screen Shot 2023-11-23 at 11.12.34 AM.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/b/a/ba5c1bdf4ef2ca4029922131f5b9d7826bac8f10.png)  
I haven’t tried your exact use case, but what I did is upload the default image to my theme and used an ablsolute URL. I got the URL by right clicking the image in the theme and select copy path.

In this example I get the path:

/TBR-theme-202311/images/hero/TBR-angela6-pink-tom9-yellow-1800x450px.jpg

Does that work for you?
