getParameterDisplayText

Hi, I have a Parameter as ListBox with Display Text. But why it is not possible to do something like this in function beforeGeneration :<br />
<br />
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>
function beforeGeneration( chart, icsc )
{
cdt = icsc.getExternalContext().getScriptable().getParameterDisplayText("myParm"); //ERROR
}
</pre>
<br />
<br />
To get the value works fine:<br />
<br />
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>
function beforeGeneration( chart, icsc )
{
cdt = icsc.getExternalContext().getScriptable().getParameterValue("myParm"); //OK
}
</pre>

It should be possible, unless you are using an iServer.
The iServer only passes the selected value, the display value is always null.
The call to get the Display value has no automatic lookup and compare it just returns the selected parameter (with NULL display).
