CustomIndicator.Create: second param with INT does not work..

[harryma23]

I have a custom indicator with the following inputs (in the following order):

input int period = 10;   // first position in the indicator settings
input bool Bold = true;  // second position in the indicator settings

and register the custom indicator within a new class with a property:

CiCustom          m_custom_indictor;

with the following initialization:

MqlParam params[3];

   params[0].type=TYPE_STRING;
   params[0].string_value="Indicators\\custom-indicator.ex5";

   params[1].type=TYPE_INT;   // Adding TYPE_INT in the second position doesn't work. The value isn't passed to the custom indicator.
   params[1].integer_value=24;

   params[2].type=TYPE_BOOL; 
   params[2].integer_value=true;

//--- object initialization
   if(!m_custom_indicator.Create(m_symbol.Name(),0,IND_CUSTOM,3,params))
     {
      printf(__FUNCTION__+": error initializing object");
      return(false);
     }

The indicator is initialized (without errors or warnings in the console). However, TYPE_INT (array position 1) is not successfully passed to the indicator settings.

If I use the following instead, it works successfully. Both input values ​​are successfully passed to the indicator settings:

input bool Bold = true; // first position in the indicator settings
input int period = 10;  // second position in the indicator settings

with

 MqlParam params[3];

   params[0].type=TYPE_STRING;
   params[0].string_value="::Indicators\\custom-indicator.ex5";

   params[1].type=TYPE_BOOL; // adding TYPE_BOOL at the second position works
   params[1].integer_value=true;

   params[2].type=TYPE_INT;
   params[2].integer_value=24;

//--- object initialization
   if(!m_custom_indicator.Create(m_symbol.Name(),0,IND_CUSTOM,3,params))
     {
      printf(__FUNCTION__+": error initializing object");
      return(false);
     }

Does anyone know why? I assume it's a bug. Where can I submit a bug report?

If you want to report something you need to post all relevant code. The indicator code (simplified is ok), and the calling code, that compiles.
