Set the Max Content of a Queue using a parameter

Hi. I'm trying to run an experiment where I vary the max content of a queue to study its effect on output UPH of a production line.

I see that Max Content has no dropdown arrow that allows it to be set to a parameter, unlike for example the processing time of a Processor. What is the best way to programmatically vary the Max Content variable in an experiment?

Use the sampling tool of the parameter's reference field on the queue and choose to the MaxContent option. This will link the queue to the reference field create code in the parameter's On Set trigger to change the maximum content of the queue to the value of the parameter each time the model is reset.

If you have multiple queues: The same also works if you sample a group instead of a single object.
