I would like to pass the value of the model's parameter to the actor's parameter. I've tried all available methods to get the value of the actor's parameter. They work fine when the value is set to a string ( e.g. to "abc") and the actor behaves the way it is supposed to. When I configure the actor's parameter to be initialized from the string parameter of the model, all methods return the variable name and not the value.
