Hi,

I want to set properties in a changelog file (since the -D does not seem to work for passing parameters).

I read here [http://www.liquibase.org/manual/changelog\_parameters](http://www.liquibase.org/manual/changelog_parameters) that you can specify a parameters block. However, I cannot find any documentation on this.

Best regards /Lasse

The other thread should have gotten you going passing values.

The changelog file will allow nodes to be set, which will be used as the default value for a parameter if it is not set in a different way (such as the -D parameter)
