The first parameter of AifCollectionTypeAttribute must match either a parameter of the method it is defined on or "return".

Hi

I see this BP warning and have no idea what this one is about. Here is the warning below

"The first parameter of AifCollectionTypeAttribute must match either a parameter of the method it is defined on or "return".

[DataMember, AifCollectionType("customValues",Types::Class,classStr(cgiKeyValue))]
public List customValues(List __customValues = _customValues)
{
    _customValues = __customValues; return _customValues;
}

Any ideas are appreciated

Thanks

    The value in your attribute assumes that the parameter is called customValues, but the actual name is __customValues.

    Note that names of both variables are wrong - the parameter should be prefixed with a single underscore, not two, and the member variable shouldn't be prefixed with any underscore at all (because that's used for parameters). Let me also add an extra attribute describing the type of the return value.

    [
    	DataMember,
    	AifCollectionType('_customValues', Types::Class, classStr(cgiKeyValue)),
    	AifCollectionType('return', Types::Class, classStr(cgiKeyValue))
    ]
    public List customValues(List _customValues = customValues)
    {
        customValues = _customValues;
    	return customValues;
    }
