API SDK: Passing a Parameter with dropdown values specified by a query for a Paginated Report

Hello All,

I am properly stumped and would be overjoyed if someone could help me solve this puzzle or let me know if it is not supported currently in the api. Was not able to find too much about this is the documentation or prior posts.

 

Developer Tool: Power BI API SDK v4.16

Error Message: RootActivityId(2ac22f10-46b4-4e15-bfed-330412c421c3): Some parameters do not have valid values. Values provided for participantId that are not valid include a939e322-9134-48ad-ae96-afa4017322e5."

 

Repro Steps:

  1. Set up Parameter Dropdown to use query. This query uses a string value for the Vaue and Key. The value is eventually changed to a UNIQUEIDENTIFIER but I have tried using just strings/different data types with the same resulKristinePowerBI_0-1703013060837.png
  2. Run report within report builder using default value (A939E322-9134-48AD-AE96-AFA4017322E5) for sake of example. Notice it  completes successfully
  3.  Run the report using the api
  4. Receive the following error:
    1. {"code":"rsParametersNotSpecified","message":"RootActivityId(2ac22f10-46b4-4e15-bfed-330412c421c3): Some parameters do not have valid values. Values provided for participantId that are not valid include a939e322-9134-48ad-ae96-afa4017322e5.","details":[]},"percentComplete":0,"expirationTime":"0001-01-01T00:00:00Z"}
  5. Change the Parameter so that it is free text (just change radio to none in screenshot above)
  6. Run the report using the exact same code
  7. Report completes successfully

I've sanity checked the following

  1. the value I am passing for the parameter exists in the drop down
  2. Behavior is the same whether multiselect or single select
  3. Behavior is the same whether allowing or not allowing null values

I've spent more time than I care to admit on this and was wondering if anyone has solved something similar in the past?
