PyFMI: Initialize parameters depending of others

Question

I created a model in OpenModelica and would like to create a FMU from it.

Inside OpenModelica, I can initialize the parameters the following:

model r_ctrl
  parameter Real startTime(start = 0.1);
  parameter SI.Resistance u_ref(start = 230);
  parameter SI.Power p_ref(start = 1000);
  parameter Real r_start(start = u_ref*u_ref/p_ref); 
  ...

This works without any problems, during the simulation, all parameters have the values they are supposed to have

When I create the FMU, the following error appears in the terminal:

[CodegenUtil.tpl:178:14-178:14:writable] Error: Template Fehler: initial value of unknown type: r_ctrl.u_ref ^ 2.0 / r_ctrl.p_ref.

Is there a way to set the parameters dependent of each other, but without getting errors in the FMU generation process?

The following should work (I suppose the above should as well, but requires OpenModelica to automatically translate it into something like the following):

model r_ctrl
  parameter Real startTime = 0.1;
  parameter SI.Resistance u_ref = 230;
  parameter SI.Power p_ref = 1000;
  parameter Real r_start(fixed=false);
initial equation
  r_start = u_ref*u_ref/p_ref;
