How to create a `BrowserCommandInput` and populate it with initial data from Fusion?

Generally, I can use `browserCommandInput.sendInfoToHTML(action, data)` to send data from Fusion360 to javascript.

However, it does not work for me if I do it in the CommandCreatedHandler, this function just returns false for me.

class MyCommandCreatedHandler(adsk.core.CommandCreatedEventHandler):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
    def notify(self, args):
        try:
            # Get the command that was created.
            cmd = adsk.core.Command.cast(args.command)
            inputs: adsk.core.CommandInputs = cmd.commandInputs
            b = inputs.addBrowserCommandInput(...)
            b.sendInfoToHTML(...) # returns false, has no effect

What is the recommended way to create a `BrowserCommandInput` and populate it with initial data from Fusion?

Hi @jan_weidner -San.

I have created a sample script.

The attached script passes the name of the active document at the time of execution from python to javascript and displays it with BrowserCommandInput.
