Experience Builder Report with custom parameters

I'm trying to re-create the functionality of the Screening widget from Web App Builder within Experience Builder. This involves using the Near Me widget and Print widget with a custom print service.

I have been trying to follow the steps in the blog here https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/experience-builder/sustainable-development/recreating-the-...

and also this one about puiblishing a custom print service for reporting here https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-enterprise/national-government/creating-a-custom-pr...

Amongst other things, one key capability is for the user to be able to add a custom title to the report, for example the name of the site they have generated the report for. With map layouts published to a print service you can add custom parameters using braces, for example {sub-title}. When published they will be presented as parameters in the print service for users to complete. I was hoping that publishing a reporting service would be similar.

However, I've tried adding a text box as a custom parameter {report-subtitle} and whilst this publishes ok (provided the text box has some text in it, it fails if the text box is empty), when I come to configure the print widget in Experience Builder, the report template is not listed. If I remove the custom parameter and re-publish, the report template is listed in the print widget configuration.

Are custom parameters supported in the reporting service and the Experience Builder print widget?

If not, is there another way for the user to be able to add a title of their own to the report?
