Bug in Quartus II (BDFs + Verilog Parameters)

In Quartus II (11 at the moment, not tried other versions), when updating parameters from within the verilog file and re-creating the symbol file, then updating symbol file in the BDF, the parameters in the BDF do not change. 

 

Just spent a few minutes looking for a bug, before realizing this is the case. 

 

Would be useful if it automatically updated the included parameters too!

Which parameters to you mean? The module's defpars or the actual values of the instantiation? It's many years, that I've been using schematic entry for designs, but I guess you would want the instance parameter to be kept, as in a HDL module respectively component instantiation?

The instantiation parameters in the BDF do not change, which would be the expected behavior of updating the symbol.

If a default parameter value has been overridden in the instantiation, I would not expect a subsequent change of the default parameter value to change the overridden value in the instantiation. 

 

If you are talking about something else, you may need to clarify.

I would expect a change the default parameter to change the BDF initialistation after updating the symbol.
