I am trying to create a report that uses the resource.id as a parameter to output a list of associated archival_objects and specific metadata from various related tables for a metadata transfer to another library system. The new 3.2.0 custom report feature
does not fit our purposes.<br>

<span style="font-size:12pt">The instructions at <a href="https://archivesspace.github.io/tech-docs/customization/reports.html">https://archivesspace.github.io/tech-docs/customization/reports.html</a> are unhelpfully brief. viz:"Implement your own initializer
if your report has any parameters." But no details about how to do that exactly.

<div style="font-size:12pt">I have created the custom reports we have so far starting from existing report with similar tables and so on and changing the SQL query. There are no existing reports that have parameters other than dates, so nothing to copy and
paste and tinker with for a new initializer. My attempts to create my own initializer have not succeeded. Anything I tried crashed the whole reports selection page, with very cryptic messages in the logs.<br>
</div>
<div style="font-size:12pt"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size:12pt">Has anyone created an initializer that allows a selection by resource number, ie an integer value or range of integer values?</div>
