==================
Hi,
I am trying to extract a parameter from an URL - which in principle works fine, but I can't influence the URL setup - so their parameter is called 'this-is-the-parameter' which runs me into the problem, that limesurvey can't, as far as I can see it, handle variable names that have a minus '-' in them ... am I missing something fundamental here or is the only way to rename the parameter (which is tricky, cause external company and SAP - here I said it ) ...

Thanks
Michael

tried that
Limesurvey tells me, that I have to use a valid variable name - eg with parameter value: example-id

Seems to be an issue : please report.

Before fixed : did you have access to DB ? IF yes : try to set it in DB directly and test if it work.

Thanks to @Joffm : it work. Clearly a GUI issue here.

It works.
1. Set it in the database
 
2. Call the survey
 
3. See the result
 

Fitzliputzli it worked - thanks a lot!!

Please : remind to report the issue about the restriction on the input.
It's ,near the only interest of Panel integration now.
