Hi all,
I'm facing a problem and I don't understand why it is happening. I defined 2 parameters: "Instance" (with a list of 2 instances of SQL Server) and "Database" (with the 2 databases):
Then, when I click "ok", this happens (the Instance parameter is passed, but the Database one is not):
Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks,
Marta
Hi , @martaredondo
According to you description, I can’t reproduce your problem.
You can try to check whether the parameters are created correctly .
Please refer to this article for more details about using parameters.
(Using parameters when edit data source settings)
(Once you edit parameters, the data source settings will make changes automatically)

Hi @v-easonf-msft ,
I did exactly what you did and for some reason it doesn't work for me. I reproduced everything over and over again and the problems persist.
The strange thing is that, if I try to change the current source to account for the parameters, the problem occurs, however, if I add a new source and choose the parameters it works perfectly!
Hi , @martaredondo
Have you considered that it may be related to m query?
If possible, can you share your m query here?
