Reference parameters in global table and parameter tables

I'm trying to reference a given parameter into multiple places.

1. I want to make a new parameter that refers to another parameter. When I set NumOfPeople value manually to a given number, I want NumOfMachines_Calculated to be automatically set to a given number (Let's say I want them to be equal or I want to divide the main parameter by 2).

2. I also want to do the same thing in a global table. I tried setting the data table values type to Flexscript and use Model.parameters.NumOfPeople to obtain the parameter value but the values never change.

Please see the attached file

I assume something needs to trigger the values toReferencingParameters.fsm change?

Software Version:

FlexSim 23.2.2

1. In the On Set code of the NumOfPeople parameter add a line that sets the calculated parameter to the value you want.

For example:

2. This works correctly how you set it up. If you read Table("GlobalTable1")[1][1] the returned value will be the parameter.
