Parameter Types in HTML View

Parameter Types in HTML View

Hello,

I am creating an html view to get a nicely formatted, custom output view of my data.  I have encountered an issue in trying to pass numeric or date fields to parameters in the html view. 

The template variable saleprice is of type STRING. But you are trying to update it with an expression of type BIGINT

It seems that parameters default as string type. Is there a way in the script to set individual parameters as something other than string?

Many thanks.
