We didn't remove anything ... For the Pentaho engine, the data source is simply a set of homogenous rows. Parameters - the things known as parameters on OOo side - are translated into additional columns in this row set, so the difference between fields and columns completely vanishs, as far as the engine is concerned. You still have all the options you want to fill the parameters on OOo side (though, admittedly, I am not completely sure at the moment where/how report API provides you with access to the relevant objects).
