Export not loading in AppBuilder

Hello,

I am struggling to get the export parameter to work in the AppBuilder. I am working on an account with a Designer Plus subscription (Username: Lishke).
Maybe I am not referencing the parameter correctly, but I tried to implement it the same way as shown in the AppBuilder_Tutorial3 file. However, the same problem occurs even when I upload the tutorial file, so perhaps I am missing something else.


When I use the export feature outside of the AppBuilder, it works correctly on ShapeDiver.

I have attached a small example file for reference.

Kind regards and thanks in advance,

Thank you for pointing out this issue in the documentation. It comes from a recent update in the Parameter Widget: it is now possible to send parameter and export references together in the same input, which makes it convenient to order them in the App. However, it is safer to send them using the “Parameter Reference” and “Export Reference” components instead of sending directly names to the component. For exports, it is necessary, otherwise the component assumes the strings correspond to parameters. See the fix below and your updated definition:

I have also updated the tutorial model in the documentation.

Thank you very much for the quick response. Everything is now working as expected.
