Parameters in libraries

We have a report with a Parameter in a Library linked in.

We want to get all the parameters in the report including name, promptText, defaultValue, etc.

We call GetParameterDefinitionTask.getParameterDefns( false );

We get the list of params ( including the inherited ones), but the inherited ones have 'null' for the promptText unlike the non-inherited ones. Is there an easy way to get the same information on the inherited parameters?

Hi badhorse,

I'm not sure I'm understanding completely. Can you explain your issue a little further? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I personally am not the guy who ran into this, but I'll try to describe it as I understand it. We used to have the parameters in the report, not in a library, and at runtime we'd iterate through the params in the report and gather all the info about them - like the promptText, for example. Once we put the parameters in a library and import from the library, we still see the params and can iterate through them. But, we only see the names. The promptText, defaultVal, etc are all null.

badhorse,

This may be a bug. The parameters still work as expected, you just can't access the info you're wanting? Can you post all the code that you're using to access this info? Do you have your resource folder set?
