I am using Report Designer from Eclipse BIRT 2.6.1RC3. I have a report parameter with a constant default value. When editing a data set and adding that parameter to the set, then the default value for the parameter is lost.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In the Report Designer, create a new report.
2. Create a data source (rest of description assumes classicmodels example database).
3. Create a new report parameter. I kept everything the default except for "Default value" where I entered the literal string "Petit Auto" (including the double quotes).
4. Create a data set that includes an SQL parameter. The query I entered was:

select CLASSICMODELS.CUSTOMERS.CUSTOMERNAME
from CLASSICMODELS.CUSTOMERS
where CLASSICMODELS.CUSTOMERS.CUSTOMERNAME != ?

5. In the Parameters tab of the Edit Data Set dialog, create a new input parameter and link it to the report parameter created in step 3. Click Ok to get out of the Edit Data Set dialog etc.
6. Edit the parameter created in step 3. Observe that the default value field is now empty, i.e. the previously entered default value is lost.
