How to disable parameters being added as null? [message #1835207]

When I modify a function so it requires an additional parameter, like this:

```
public void someFunction(AdditionalParameter additionalParameter);
```

...then naturally, all calls of `someFunction` will complain about a missing parameter. However, when I say "add missing parameters", this happens:

```
someFunction(null);
```

While this satisfies the compiler, I would prefer if it did this instead (and then complained about the `additionalParameter` variable not existing in this context):

```
someFunction(additionalParameter);
```

Is there some way to configure this?

Thanks in advance,
Kira

Hi,

Why not use "overloading " ?

Regards.


 	public void someFunction() {
		someFunction(null);
	}

	public void someFunction(final String input) {

		if (input == null) {
		} else {
		}

	}

That was not my question.

I'll try to rephrase it.

When I use the quickFix "Add arguments to match `someFunction(AdditionalParameter additionalParameter)`, I get this:

```
someFunction(null);
```

Instead, I would like to get this:

```
someFunction(additionalParameter);
```

Is there some way to get this?
