Parameters are supported on control rules identified in flow action, section, and harness rules. (Parameters are allowed only for JSP-based rules.)
Use of parameterized control rules — both standard rules and those you build for your applications — is recommended for flexibility and to reduce the number of distinct control rules in your application.
For a partial list of standard rules that accept parameters, see Atlas — Standard Control rules with parameters.

that starts with the reserved word Use the following syntax to identify complex parameters: Proj-1128
As with scalar parameters, these complex parameters are not true property rules — no Rule-Obj-Property rule exists for them — but they mimic the structure of the property types. Complex parameter definitions are accepted on this Parameters tab, on the Parameters tab of the Section form. Use the <pega:param > JSP tag, within the <pega:reference ..> JSP tag, to set values for complex and scalar parameters. Typically, complex parameter values are used within the scope of a <pega:foreach ..> JSP tag. |
