Duplicate Parameters at schedule field

kvusal — Thu, 28 May 2020 07:15:02 GMT

Dear Experts,

When I try to add parameter from available field I realized that there are duplicate parameters.

i.e.: 3 pcs of length parameter:

What is reason of that?

Don't feel bad. We have all been there. We have created shared parameters with the same as existing system parameters or we recreated shared parameters in another Shared Parameter TXT file with identically parameters as another.

Anyways: read this blog. It was the end all and be all for me. Yes, I'm dead serious.

Best analogy ever. "The Dictionary analogy". Thank you, @SteveKStafford.

Those are shared parameters with the same name but from different sources (aka different GUIDs) coming in your project from different families.

Edit the families and replace the existing parameters with shared parameters from the same source shared parameters text file. There maybe some add-in to assist with that task, do a search.
