Whats the root path for a runway page?

Trying to get a dataselect working, but nothing seems to appear in the dropdown. Even with a simple test. Perhaps I have the root path wrong. In runway, I'm making a new master page for a particular page. Is that still -- /new-master-page.php

....or is it looking for the Route?

This article seems pointed toward regular Perch users, not Runway. Is it the same process? https://docs.grabaperch.com/docs/templates/attributes/type/dataselect/

It would be the page path, so something like /about/fish-fingers.

But that said, you probably don't need the dataselect field type in Runway. What are you using it for?

I have a group of items - "cards" in an isotope grid. I want to be able to create a bunch of them (multiple items) and be able to add them to other pages via a dropdown. I'd choose, say, "Fish Fingers" card and that would add the content from the items in the "cards" created elsewhere.

Does that make sense? Is there a different way to pull content from another page, to allow editors to pick and choose items from a multiple item group to add to a new page?
