I use Report Actions to create paramaters that are used in a number of reports.  
When no parameter is created, these reports used to be empty, but since 2-3 updates ago the following message and line numbers appear:

How can I remove them?

Hi Guido, this is an error that is returned from the Neo4j driver directly it seems.

What happened before is that parameters upon clearing were set to an empty string (""), which caused the queries to effectively return no data (empty).

In parameter selectors, the advanced setting "Clear parameter on field reset" controls whether the parameters get cleared completely, or set to an empty string. Maybe that can help?

Hi @niels_dejong  
thanks for the suggestion but that doesn't help; on the contrary, none of the queries return any data then.  
FYI all settings:

Hi Guido,

Strange - then there is something else going on.  
I created an issue to investigate: [Bug: remove message when no expected parameter(s) found · Issue #932 · neo4j-labs/neodash · GitHub](https://github.com/neo4j-labs/neodash/issues/932)

Best,  
Niels

Good afternoon Guido,

Sorry for the long delay!

I have taken a look to the issue and I suggest to use the "Ignore undefined parameters" option in advanced settings of your reports, in order to avoid having the default driver message if the parameter doesn't exist yet.

Please let me know if the issue still occurs.
