General parameter modifiers
The parameter statement is made up of several parts - the parameter name declaration, type declaration, and modifiers. These parts are separated by dots (".") and look like function calls.
| Statement | Description |
|---|---|
| .parameter("pMyInt") | Name declaration |
| .type("int") | Type declaration |
| .prompt("Value") | The prompt the user will see |
| .defaultValue("12345") | A default value can be provided |
| .multiple("1") | Lets the user add multiple parameter values |

%stat.parameter("pMyInt").type("int").prompt("Value").defaultValue("12345").multiple("1")%
