Hi there,

I would like to make a feature request for your Reporting Tool that would greatly improve the way we are able to create Custom Report Parameters Front-End for our application.
Currently we have access to a number of properties against each Report Parameter such as whether it is Visible or whether or not it is a MultiValue control as well as some other options you are well aware of. I would like to request that you allow the ability to create custom properties against a Report Parameter.

Currently when we build up our custom parameter interface we use the Visible field whether or not to Show the parameter and we use the MultiValue parameter to switch between multi select and single select inputs and we determine the type of control we use based on the Type property. Up to now we have managed ok with the built in properties but we are starting to find some limitations that would easily be resolved if we could add whatever properties we want to a Report Parameter.

An obvious example is if we had more complex control options for the various Report Parameters we might like to add a property that has the name of the control to use rather than having to guess which control to display based on the Type of the Parameter. Or if we have multiple parameters that depend on each other we can add a property that tells us what the hierarchy for the parameters is. That would allow us to know on the front end that one Parameter depends on another parameter.

The reason I believe adding custom properties is the best approach is because then the sky is the limit with how I can customise those options and my own customer parameter interface.

Is there any chance this request could make it into your product roadmap? I believe it is a feature that could be very beneficial not just for us but to all your customer.

Thanks,

Aaron
