Using Parameters in Visual Studio 2015 Reporting Services

Question

I am trying to get a parameter drop-down onto my report in Visual Studio 2015. It shows up fine on the design view, here i have populated it from another data set containing a unique list of one of the columns:

But when i go to the Preview tab, the parameters area is empty..

What am i doing wrong?

If this isn't the hidden or internal setting, then close and reopen VS. I had a similar issue and that seemed to fix it. Not sure why it happened, haven't really seen it since. — R. Richards, Jul 25 '16 at 13:20
@alejandrozuleta no, i have checked that and it's set to visible. I'll try restarting VS now. — , Jul 25 '16 at 13:27

This is not the first question about this issue. Here is another one. I cannot say why this happens, and I have not been able to reproduce it either. As I mentioned in the other question, if I see it again I may submit a bug report on it, if I can reproduce it consistently.

The solution/fix to the issue was to close Visual Studio and restart it. Afterward, the parameters worked as expected. I am sure we can all agree this isn't ideal, but it is a work around.

More to come if I find anything!
