Thank you for this link, it's really helpful. I've installed your reports plugin on a dev system and am now hitting the same problem I'm having with my report - how to get the text box to show up on the report screen (i.e. what to put in the jobs/report_partials/_string
partial). I tried just using the following line:<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;"><% form.textfield name, nil, :class => 'text-field form-control' %></span><br>
<br>
But this leads to the attached being displayed instead of a text box! Might you be able to advise on how you were able to configure String parameter entry? It's not part of this plugin as far as I can see.<br>

<br>
We have a plugin we wrote with some custom SQL reports – this one uses a string parameter for an EADID or list of EADIDs -

several reports created by other institutions, but I haven't found an example of a report accepting a string parameter (only booleans and dates). I see from e.g. <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/blob/75000415aa5ee60411c6caf012042af4fc157d00/frontend/app/views/jobs/_form.html.erb*L121__;Iw!!Dq0X2DkFhyF93HkjWTBQKhk!GX75QheNm0-XxIApINdOyeac54bS2ZjNyPlm_nxqTYFfTBABH9vDI0OxgolnoLIKYgcArjCl$">https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/blob/75000415aa5ee60411c6caf012042af4fc157d00/frontend/app/views/jobs/_form.html.erb#L121</a>
that it should be possible to use a custom partial for different data types but nothing I've tried has worked so far. Is anyone doing anything like this, and might they have an example of it working?</span></p>
