Can't transmit params

I must be doing something fundamentally wrong. Trying to transmit my generated parameter file to a board with default settings without success. Same with both Windows and Linux QGC.
Connect via USB.
Existing parameters are visible in Parameters widget. 'Refresh' pulls parameters from board again, takes ~6 seconds.
'Load' params file. Click 'Transmit' and it says 'No values changed' and doesn't send anything. I even tried a test params file that only contains one single line consisting of '#define IMU_MAG_INCL -67.38' (without the quotes). Same thing.
Problem must be so simple that I am missing it completely.
Help...

Try and use the "all parameters" section in "Edit PID" tab in the AQ widget...I never tried to use "Calibration and onboard parameters" tool widget, so I cant say if that should work...

Hey that worked, thanks!
I missed that panel.
I guess I should click [Write (ROM)] to save the new parameters to STM flash?

To be clear, you should only use the autoquad main widget for editing parameter.

Which one, the one Jussi mentioned? I could transmit the params file from there but couldn't edit individual parameters. I had to use the 'Calibration and Parameters' Tool widget to edit magnetic declination for example, this is the widget I could not transmit param files with.
I think I tried clicking in the Main Autoquad widget->Edit PID settings->All parameters individual parameter's value field and it did not change into an edit box.
Thanks.

@GoFaster
Please do not edit some IMU values with "'Calibration and Parameters".
be careful, because this widget, dos all values round to 2 or 3 digits after decimal separator.
And this can be very bad in some case.
I would prefer the way, use your params file, add there any parameter, what you need to change.
And upload this file from the autoquad widget.
So, you are sure, the format is correct, and you have a backup from your parameter.
