I'm getting a little closer.  GetLiteralParameterValue.

Dim sValue As String = BRApi.Dashboards.Parameters.GetLiteralParameterValue(si, False, "ColorFont1_PLP")
api.LogMessage("This is the value of the parameter: " & sValue)

 

Description: This is the value of the parameter: XFDarkBlueText

However CVYear doesn't show. 

Dim sValue As String = BRApi.Dashboards.Parameters.GetLiteralParameterValue(si, False, "CVYear")

Dim sValue As String = BRApi.Dashboards.Parameters.GetLiteralParameterValue(si, True, "CVYear")

This is the value of the parameter: Unknown11/3/2022 3:02:36 PMInformation
