Parameters with CTL2 Expressions (Dynamic Parameters)

A CTL2 expression can be used in parameters, but it has to return a string data type.

//#CTL2

function string getValue() {
    return date2str(today(), "YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
}

To assign CTL2 expression to a graph parameter, use the Edit Parameter CTL2 Value dialog.

You can access dynamic parameter’s value using getParamValue() or ${PARAMETER_NAME}. However, it is evaluated only once during the graphs initialization phase, since values are cached and constant throughout graph execution.
