6208	The NF does not recognize record of parameters as a parameter itself	Francesco Casella	Per Östlund	"Please check [https://libraries.openmodelica.org/branches/master/Buildings_7.0.0/files/Buildings_7.0.0_Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.DXCoils.BaseClasses.Examples.WetCoil.err Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.DXCoils.BaseClasses.Examples.WetCoil]. The NF reports:

If you look up the [https://github.com/lbl-srg/modelica-buildings/blob/0dead434179c75f011b45ff804986e842d9bc712/Buildings/Fluid/HeatExchangers/DXCoils/BaseClasses/Examples/WetCoil.mo#L48 definition] {{{datCoi}}}, its [https://github.com/lbl-srg/modelica-buildings/blob/master/Buildings/Fluid/HeatExchangers/DXCoils/AirCooled/Data/Generic/DXCoil.mo type] AirCooled.Data.Generic.DXCoil only contains parameters, so I guess the binding should be allowed.

I suspect this may be the reason of other issues, such as #5991 and, possibily #5988."	defect	closed	blocker	1.17.0	New Instantiation		wontfix
