Is this a bug in the MultiSelect Input Parameter in Jaspersoft Studio Pro 7.1?

Hi!

I just converted from Jasper Studio Pro 5.6 to 7.1 and one thing I noticed is that my MultiSelect parameter is now getting an SQL DECFLOAT error. My parameter BranchList is of type java.util.List, and in my query I have it coded like this: $X{IN, BranchPrimaryKey, BranchList}. Back in 5.6, I can run the same report without getting that error, but in 7.1, it is now telling me the said SQL Error.

In my observation on the changes between 5.6 and 7.1, it seems that in 7.1 the input control for MultiSelect or List in the Preview tab now contains a value of No Elements. Upon looking further, it seems that this value is also part of the List. In 5.6 it tells you 0 elements selected and the list is empty. Is this as-designed or is there a workaround for it? It would be ideal to do testing inside Jaspersoft Studio itself, because right now I am publishing it first to the repository in order to test out the Input control.

Thank you!
