How do I specify an Azure Container name as a schedule parameter?

I am using the AzureBlobStorageConnector in my workbench, which takes as a parameter a "Container" value. 

 

I have been using just the name of the container, which is a published string parameter. This works when running the workbench locally as well as when running it from the FME server interface. 

 

My issue is when I attempt to create a "Repeat on Interval" schedule; for this parameter, when I enter the container name as a string value, I get the following error and the schedule cannot be created:

Unexpected value "["containername"]" for parameter "value", expected scalar

Is this expected behaviour? Is there another format I am supposed to enter this name in instead?

Hi @mathiku​ & @mfrancioni​ ,

This does sound buggy and may be best handled in a support case. You can submit a support case here.

There was a similar issue with the OneDriveConnector where the Object ID user parameter cannot be saved in schedules. The workaround was to manually create a "Text" User parameter and use it in the Object ID parameter. Please try using a different parameter type as a workaround.

 

Hope this helps!
