Note

	Note
Since the version 2.8.0 of CloudConnect, you can also use CTL expressions in parameters. Such CTL expressions can use any possibilities of CTL language. However, these CTL expressions must be surrounded by back quotes. For example, if you define a parameter TODAY="`today()`" and use it in your CTL codes, such `${TODAY}` expression will be resolved to the date of this day. If you want to display a back quote as is, you must use this back quote preceded by back slash as follows: \`.
