Why do I get the error "Invalid setting in '<model>/<block>' for parameter '<param>'." when using a character array (or struct that contains a character array) as a block's value?

The "character" data type is not supported by Simulink:

Please run the following command in the MATLAB R2018b Command Window to access the release specific documentation on "Data Types Supported by Simulink":

web(fullfile(docroot, 'simulink/ug/data-types-supported-by-simulink.html'))

.

Consider converting to an integer type, or use blocks in the 'String' library.

Run the below command in your MATLAB instance to access the release specific documentation:

web(fullfile(docroot, 'simulink/string.html'))

(introduced in MATLAB R2018a).
