Custom Data Connector. Add Parameter

[Hennadii]

Hello everyone,

Is there a way to define Parameter with a list of values in a Custom Data Connector, and use it in the Power Query Editor as in the picture below?

Thank you in advance for any ideas!

Does anyone know if this feature has been implemented for Power BI connectors?I'm also interested in defining parameter objects for my custom connectors.

Hi @Hennadii 

Yep, it is. Go to manage parameter --> New parameter  in Power query Editor

Hello @Anonymous , thanks for prompt reply. 

The approach you proposed is used Power Query functionality to create the Parameters.

I would like to create the Parameter within Custom Data Connector (writing M expressions in Visual Studio)

@Hennadii , there is some information here. But I doubt that answer your question

Thank you @amitchandak for the links.

They were useful while I was learning what is Custom Connector and how to use it. These links show how to create Tables and Functions and nothing about Parameters.

It looks like it is not possible for now ((
