How to access parameter from parent report within child report? SSRS

Question

I have a parent report where I modified its actions so that when you click on a particular column, the report goes to a different report. I pass in a column value to the child report. I am now trying to make the default value of a parameter from within the child report use the parameter from the parent report. How do I do access it?

Answer 1

The answer is to create a parameter with the exact same name in the child report. It will automatically inherit the parameter from the parent report if the name is the same. You don't have to set a "default value" for the parameter pointing to the passed in parameter. My mistake is that I thought you could name the parameters differently.
