I'm having the same problem. My interim resolution was to remove the list control and replace it with a simple string value. That works fine when sending the value as a parameter in the URL, but when I'm prompting the user I really want them to choose from a list. My list control is fed by a query "SELECT id, name FROM table ORDER BY name;". The list shows the names, but the value is the taken from the chosen "id". Trying to pass one of these ID's in the URL ( e.g. .....&programID=XXX ) doesn't work. What would the URL have to look like to make this work?

This is an old thread, but I figured I'd post something I learned here just in case anyone is having a similar problem. My report uses a parameter that, for prompting purposes, I defined as a drop-down list. It essentially is a string value that gets assigned by the drop-down to the parameter. It works fine when prompted in JasperServer. If I tried to pass that parameter in a URL, it always used the default value. The problem was that the Parameter Name in the report has to be exactly that same as the Parameter Name in the control. Jasper tells you that in the gray helper text on the Edit Input Control pane, but it's worth double-checking it. Sometimes it's the simplest solution that works!
