Can I reference models with masks in variant ModelReference?

Can a variant ModelReference be used with Models that define masks in R2017b? I have tried this for a pair of models with identical Parameter and mask sets and found no joy. The simulation appears to simply to ignore the model argument values specified for the variants in the Block Parameters Dialog and simply use those via the mask for the currently selected variant.

Worse, switching variant via Variant Manager etc resets the Parameter settings to the mask Defaults.

Hi @Andrew Stevens,

Can you please attach the model as it will be difficult to conclude anything without that.

However, one reason for this may be the way variant conditions are resolved. The resolution of variant conditions is done in the closest context i.e if same variables are defined in base, model and mask workspace then mask worksapce is preferred followed by model workspace and then base worksapce.

Kindly refer to the following documentation link for better understanding of storage locations of variant control variables: https://www.mathworks.com/help/simulink/var/variant-control-modes-in-variant-blocks.html#mw_3507ce0d-5290-4879-8778-71ae84dcc129

Thanks for the response but this is now ancient history (2018!) - I'd need to do some serious archaeology to find the model. However, glancing at those pages of docs... glad I don't have to work with this stuff any more!
