[5.1.3] Problem(s) changing parameter

[martijn1247812]

Hi I love the toolset!

I have a problem with finding the parameter by name.
using something like: prm = wb_parameters.get_parameter_by_name(param)
I have changed the following and it works:

def get_parameter_by_name(self, parameter_name: str) -> TableauParameter:
    for p in self._parameters:
        # if self.parameters[p].name == parameter_name: ##CHANGE MB
        if p == parameter_name:
            return self._parameters[p]
    else:
        raise NoMatchFoundException('No parameter named {}'.format(parameter_name))

Another this is that i was used to just put the (string)data in the parameter and it worked. Now I seem to convert is to its proper type. Problem with list-parameters though...

                    if prm.datatype == 'integer':
                        prm.current_value = int(new_value)
                    elif prm.datatype == 'real':
                        prm.current_value = float(new_value)
                    else:
                        prm.current_value = new_value
