There's something else at play here also TJ.
When ever I change a parameter name I end up getting duplicates displayed in
the param list... one with the old name, one with the new name.
If I have a param that I no longer need and delete it from the AFL, the param
still appears in the param list as a sort of 'ghost parameter'...
I think this only occurs where I have multiple 'insert linked' versions of the
same code across various charts... not sure why.
