Parameter is not getting defauilt value

I have a numeric parameter that does not get its default value when I deploy
the report. It works fine in report designer preview.
Is that a bug?Mark,
This behaviour is by design.
Once a report has been deployed, if you reconfigure the default value for a
particular parameter through the Report Manager then that will take
precedence over any default values that you subsequently include in the RDL
that you may re-deploy.
The rationale behind these kind of things is that the Report Administrator
is King - if the Report Administrator has manually set something on the
Report Manager to be overridden then it is not welcome that a Report
Developer comes along and overwrites such a setting.
Bill and my book gives in-depth treatment of Report Parameters on pages
283 - 292 and p286 explains the feature you are experiencing.
Best Wishes.

For it looks like a bug.
Let's say I have a report with a parameter that has to be entered by the user.
Later on the user decides to have a default value for that paramter.
But I cannot do it because the has entered the value for the parameter at
least once.
Am I correct?
