Can I change the name of a parameter of a existing simulink block?

Hello,

I want to change the name of a/the parameter of a PS Constant block. I want to change it from 'constant' to 'constant1'.

Is this possible?

When I go to the Mask-Parameters I cant adjust anything because it is read only. Can I maybe make my own block, copy all properties of the PS Constant block into it and only change the parameter name?

Thanks in advance!

Greetings Boudewijn

You can't change the name of the parameter, but you can add another mask on top of the block and create a new set of parameters that map to the ones on the mask below. (In newer releases, this mapping can be done automatically by promoting block parameters to a mask)

you can use a set_param to set all the properties of a block.

set_param(BlockPath,'PropertName','PropertyValue');

for ex:
to set block name,
set_param(BlockPath,'BlockName','Constant1');

Thanks, but i dont want to change the name of the Block. I want to change the name of a Parameter.

So for ex: The name of the PS Constant block is Irradiance. The Parameter name is constant. I want to change the name of the parameter 'constant', not the value!
