String parameters cannot be changed at run-time

[jwharington@…]

Using -override or by editing the _init.xml file, parameters of type String ignore the start value and use whatever value was set at compilation.

I cannot reproduce the issue here. It is possible to manipulate each kind of parameter using the override flag.
Can you please provide an example that covers the issue?

Here's an example. If the String is not used in a CombiTable1Ds, it's ok (works with override), but in the example below it can't be overridden.

class TestString
  import Modelica.Utilities.Streams.print;

  parameter String par = "parameter_default";

  Modelica.Blocks.Tables.CombiTable1Ds
    ctable(tableOnFile = true, 
	   fileName = par,
           u = time);

initial equation
  print("Data is " + par);

end TestString;

./TestString -override par="foo"

The file name for a table (= "parameter_default") is defined, but not the corresponding table name.
