SSRS put Report Parameters with default values in body of email

Question

Hello,

I have created a report with a Start Date and End Date parameter where both are set to default parameters. This is working. However, I also had a request to put those same parameters in the body of the email when using subscriptions. Basically, the body of the email should say, "Attached is the Monthly Reconciliation Report from @StartDate to @EndDate." How can I do that? Thank you!

Hi @Rhonda ，
You can add text in Subject to modify the default subject; add text in Comment to add content to the body of email.
But unfortunately the subscription doesn't seem to recognize the default parameter values, this is by design.
As far as I know, you can only use @ReportName and @ExecutionTime variables in Subject.

Best Regards,
Joy
