Autofill Derived Parameter Names

Is there a way to enable text autofill/auto complete of derived parameter names into an input field (such as a dimension, for example)?

 

I am utilizing the method described here (https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-design-validate/use-edit-parameters-from-parts-in-assembly...) to create a global variables file which is then insert derived into multiple part files. This brings in the user parameters (E.G. "distance_xyz" is brought in as "distance_xyz_Ref") but requires typing out the full name of the parameter without the help of auto complete as is available for local variables. With dozens or hundreds of user parameters, this can get cumbersome especially since I can't copy the name from the (local) parameters table.

 

Thanks

I assume you have created parameters in your master and marked them as Favorites.  When you Derive, either by creating a new Derived Component or Insert Derive into an existing file, you have checked at the bottom of the dialog box under Parameters, Favorites.  Once the process is complete, in the new file, go to your Parameter table and mark all the imported parameters as Favorites.  Now you can simply type "any" letter in the Favorite Parameter name and it will pop up in a list which you can select from.  I am sorry to say, you cannot select all the imported Favorite Parameters at once to make them Favorites in the new file.
