query on spectre-MDL

Question:
Is it possible to assign a variable for design parameters instead of known values?
Following code is the example.
 
mvarsearch{
   Option{
                     ….
                }
  Parameter{
              {Wp,500n,500n,2u}
               …
               }
  Exec{
               ...
            }
  Zero{
             …
           }
 
}
 
For Wp parameter min_val = 500n, initial_val=500n and max_val=2u
Now how can we assign variables to Wp parameter like
  {Wp,Wp_initial,Wp_min,Wp_max}
 
Why this is required:
   This is help full for step by step design optimization where one design optimized values can be used as initial conditions for other design.

    No, this is not possible currently, and would require an enhancement to SpectreMDL to support this. Seems a reasonable idea though.

    Kind Regards,

    Andrew.
