    I was completing an online training from a website on PowerShell. Instruction completed an advanced function and used parameters. Instruction could use these parameters using tab completion features but I can not. 

    When I copy param code outside function block, I can use tab completion. Works fine with other code examples so should not be a PowerShell console issue. 

    Is there anything wrong with this example code:

            

    function Get-DJOSInfo {
        [cmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess=$True,ConfirmImpact='Low')]
        param (
            [Parameter(Mandatory=$True,
                       ValueFromPipeline=$True,
                       ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName=$True)]
            [Alias('hostname')]
            [ValidateLength(5,20)]
            [ValidateCount(1,10)]
            [string[]]$computerName,

            [switch]$nameLog
        )

    I can paste complete code, if required.

    Works fine for me:

    function Get-DJOSInfo {
	[cmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess = $True, ConfirmImpact = 'Low')]
	param (
		[Parameter(
			Mandatory = $True,
			ValueFromPipeline = $True,
			ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $True
		)]
		[Alias('hostname')]
		[ValidateLength(5, 20)]
		[ValidateCount(1, 10)]
		[string[]]$computerName,
		[switch]$nameLog
	)
}

    If its in a file be sure you are dot-sourcing the file.
