Firebase custom event parameters not visible in console

I need help with custom parameters of Firebase event, don’t seem to be able to see or use any event parameter. Basically trying to use parameters to create Audience segmentation, but parameters seem to never arrive (on the other hand all custom events arrive correctly).

As you can see from the attached screenshot the parameters list is always empty for custom events. The only parameters we can correctly see are related to system events (like first_open or in_app_purchase).

This is how we trigger custom events and parameters:

FIRAnalytics.logEvent(withName: "game_played", parameters:[
                "username": "id-\(self.username)" as NSObject,
                "gameplayed": self._gamePlayed as NSObject
                ])

Any help would really be appreciated.

Go to your event and click in the 3 points icon: event menu and click edit parameter reporting

and there you can select which parameters you want to see, so click on username and gameplayed and push "ADD" button and set the unit of measurement.

parameters

Note that it could take some time from your first events fired to be shown in console.

Also when you have a text parameter it take time to gather it's different values from fired events and to be shown correctly in console.
