  3. Click in the white space of a Custom value cell and set the new value for the corresponding context parameter.

    • When the context parameter is of type String, do not put its value between double quotes, unless if double quotes are needed in to the string value for further use.
    • When you modify a Parameter type of context parameter, the new value appears in clear text as you type and then as asterisks when done.
