[resolved] No way to dynamically override dropdown component settings via parameters

[dan2]

Edited the title to help others in the future and marked the comment with the workaround.

Please see the screenshots below. I have a Joblet triggered by Component Ok in the main Job. The first step in the Joblet sets the parameters dynamically for a tS3Connection. The Debug log shows that the tS3Connection component is failing to read the new context. It should have updated to PROFILE_INHERIT_CREDENTIALS, but instead stays with the default even though the context was definitely updated by the tJava. How can I correct this?

 

 

 

 

I went ahead and output the full context upon failure of the tS3Connection component and can show that the context was updated, so tS3Connection seems to not be reading it. I also tried adding all variables as globals, but this did not work either.

Thanks so much for coming back and revealing your findings. This will hopefully help other users who find themselves in the same position at some point.
