How to set a parameter in the parameters table

I always used to have a global table containing all parameters for my model. In recent history FlexSim introduced the parameters table for that. Which is nice to have a single interface with some advantage like value checking etc.

But now I'm not able to change the value of a parameter via code. Things like "Model.parameters.xxxx.value = 1" in the script window give an error. So how to do this? I use a parameter to sometimes use transport and other times not and this is based on a date. So I want to set this parameter dynamically.

You need code either like this:

Model.parameters.xxx = 1

or like this:

Model.parameters["xxx"].value = 1

Like labels on an object, using the top syntax deals with the value, while the second syntax deals with the parameter itself.

That is a bug, then. I'll get it on the dev list.
