I want to be able to hide or show a report parameter based on the value
in a another report parameter that the user has selected.

Is there anyway to do this?

Thanks for any help.

Add the target report parameter (to be displayed) to your report spec.
Then select the container of the target report parameter and use the
visibility property to hide/show the target parameter based on the second
report parameter.

1) Select the container (text, label, grid, etc.)
2) Go to Property Editor -> Visibility panel
3) Select "Hide Element"
4) In the "Detail" section add the following 'params["RP_showParams"] ==
false'
a) This assumes that RP_showParams is a boolean

I hope this helps.

Hallo Mitch

I've the same requirement as Helon, but i don't understand your answer.
I think you are mixing things. As far is i understand Helon and I want to
show/hide a parameter based on another parameter.
Your answer seems to show/hide a "Report Item" (like Label, Text ...)
based on a parameter, or am i wrong?

Would be great if someone could give a solution for hiding/showing a
report parameter based on another report parameter.

Thanks,
Mario

Mario,

Either look into cascading parameters (populating one parameter based on
the results of another), or you might want to consider using an external
parameter dialog and just passing the parameters into the BIRT engine.
