Add the possibility of having Parameters in Global Tables

Add the possibility of having Parameters in Global Tables

When we import an Excel table of data and we want to use one of the fields (columns) as a Parameter in our model, we currently have to duplicate this information field in the Parameters table. This can be done automatically through code but it's inefficient because we already have the info in our model but just not in the right table.

And yes we can import Excel data directly into Parameters table but most of the time (in my case) the table I import has 20 columns of data that is used in the simulation but only one of these columns needs to be a Parameter.

A solution to this would be to be able to put Parameters in a Global Table. Maybe have the option to designate a column as "Parameter Data Type" and it would be recognized everywhere as a Parameter even if it is not in the Parameters Table.

Thanks,
