Dynamic Reports - Calculating Report ID

Hi, 
I am trying to use the new dynamic report , specifically using a calculation to find the Report Object ID. This is my script which keeps failing. I am using python

I have an object <lettertype> which kickstarts the package, I can confirm by using ShowMessage , the <letterytype> variable has the right string

Also the new calculation window is missing the Run option , there is no way to 'test' if the calculation is right/wrong without running the package , can't we use transformation style value passing to verify ?

See the same script running fine in calculations in a transformation 

 

Variables are not replaced inside scripts for Dynamic Actions parameters.
What you need to do is to use etltools package to get variable value

etltools.GetVariable('<VariableName>') 

Below worked !

Question
1. This calculation window , why are we not allowed to run the script from within the window, like we can do in packages or transformation ? 
2. Since we are not utilising getvariable , is this now equivalent to "Script" Action or some combination of calculation + package script



import etltools
lettertype = etltools.GetVariable('<lettertype>')
# Define the mapping of letter types to their corresponding values as strings
lettertype_mapping = {     "Appointment": "7392",     "Confirmation": "7439",     "Experience": "7437",     "Internship": "7430",     "Offer": "7367" }
# Assign the corresponding string value to
Result.value Result.value = lettertype_mapping[lettertype]

This is yet to be implemented.
