Komascript section redeclare with definition of the page header

Question

In my MNWE I try to change style for section in two column scrbook document. In same time I want to have page header also on pages where the first text line is the section header.

In my code I am loosing the setting of the page header because the section behaves in same manner like chapter. If the page contains only paragraphs it works as I want.

I try to use \AddtoDoHook technique but without success (therefore it is commented in MNWE).

MNWE:

Use \RedeclareSectionCommand[style=chapter,pagestyle=scrheadings]{section} — esdd, Oct 25 '22 at 14:52

If style=chapter or style=part is used in the optional argument of \RedeclareSectionCommand the key pagestyle and macro \<name>pagestyle are provided. The key pagestyle sets the page style for pages with the heading. By default, the value of key pagestyle is plain. The macro \<name>pagestyle is used to store the value of key pagestyle.

So you can use either

\RedeclareSectionCommand[style=chapter,pagestyle=scrheadings]{section}

or

\RedeclareSectionCommand[style=chapter]{section}
\renewcommand*{\sectionpagestyle}{scrheadings}

to get the desired result.

First example:

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt,twocolumn, chapterprefix=on]{scrbook}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{xcolor} 
\usepackage[headsepline, automark]{scrlayer-scrpage}% <- sets page style scrheadings automatically
\usepackage{currfile}
\setkomafont{pageheadfoot}{\normalfont\normalcolor\itshape\small}
\setkomafont{pagenumber}{\normalfont\bfseries}
\chead{\currfilename}
\ihead{\pagemark}
\ofoot{}
\cfoot{}
% \AddtoDoHook appends persistent code to the hook named name.
% @gobble: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/85796/why-does-gobble-take-one-argument
\RedeclareSectionCommand[style=chapter,pagestyle=scrheadings]{section}% <- changed
\makeatletter
\AddtoDoHook{heading/begingroup/section}{\KOMAoptions{chapterprefix=false}@gobble}
  \renewcommand{\chapterlinesformat}[3]{%
    @tempswafalse
    \Ifstr{#1}{section}{%
        \color{white}
        \colorbox{black}{%
          \parbox{\dimexpr\linewidth-2\fboxrule-2\fboxsep}{%
            \raggedsection
            @hangfrom{#2}{#3}%
          }%
        }%
      ]%
    }{%
      @hangfrom{#2}{#3}%
    }%
  }
\makeatother 
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\blinddocument
\end{document}

Second example:

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt,twocolumn, chapterprefix=on]{scrbook}

\setkomafont{pageheadfoot}{\normalfont\normalcolor\itshape\small}
\setkomafont{pagenumber}{\normalfont\bfseries}
\chead{\currfilename}
\ihead{\pagemark}
\ofoot{}
\cfoot{}
% \AddtoDoHook appends persistent code to the hook named name.
% @gobble: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/85796/why-does-gobble-take-one-argument
\RedeclareSectionCommand[style=chapter]{section}
\renewcommand*{\sectionpagestyle}{scrheadings}% <- added
\makeatletter
\AddtoDoHook{heading/begingroup/section}{\KOMAoptions{chapterprefix=false}@gobble}
  \renewcommand{\chapterlinesformat}[3]{%
    @tempswafalse
    \Ifstr{#1}{section}{%
        \color{white}
        \colorbox{black}{%
          \parbox{\dimexpr\linewidth-2\fboxrule-2\fboxsep}{%
            \raggedsection
            @hangfrom{#2}{#3}%
          }%
        }%

The solution is simple. Instead of

\RedeclareSectionCommand[style=chapter]{section}

use the modification

\RedeclareSectionCommand[style=chapter,pagestyle=scrheadings]{section}

as it was suggested in comment.
