Using constants from package on bdf

There were some questions on this forum about constants on *.bdf, e.g. https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Quartus-Prime-Software/Is-a-Quartus-bdf-file-can-access-a-package-in-WORK-library/m-p/1345...

Dear @RichardTanSY_Altera,

Thank you for your answer. Yes, I tried this solution, but it is uncomfortable:

- it is a graphical info which I can't store in a separate file

- It is hard to keep in git

- I can't use same constant in different layers of files - I have to duplicate this param inside of another bdf

The error from the option I showed on image in my question is:

Error (275082): Illegal values "work.my_pack.myPar" for parameter "CCC". The type is "Signed Integer".

I guess that means that the compiler doesn't see my constant myPar from the package my_pack

Could you share your design and package so that I could duplicate it from my side?
