There is a discrepancy between how parameters are referenced when on their own
versus when included as part of expression language.
If you have a parameter named "Date Format", if you just reference it on its
own, you can just reference it as {{{}#\{Date Format}{}}}. No need to quote it.
However, to reference that same parameter from within an expression
{{${now():format(#\{Date Format})}}}
you need to quote it for it to be parsed properly. If you don't quote it, the
processor will be invalid with this displayed:
