I have a very simple NQ that takes a string value as a parameter. ```auto SELECT [bin_id] FROM [dbo].[case_traveler] WHERE [case_trav_GUID] = :case_trav_GUID ``` In the Named Query Editor’s Testing tab, this query works as expected. When I execute this from a script in a Prospective View or in the Script Console, it does not return any data using the same input parameter value. I found this, [Project Named Query Issues](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/bug-12521-project-named-query-issues/22229), which was apparently a bug that was fixed 2 years ago. I’m currently using v8.0.16. As I’ve never run into a NQ that worked in the editor but not from a script, I’m a bit perplexed. I’ve validated there are no non-printable characters in string being passed in. I’ve tested this as a simple Query and as a Scalar Query with no change in results. I’m hoping for an idea on direction to take to correct this. Thanks! ---

Found the issue once I was able to get a second set of eyes on my fubar!
