# Cannot Play: Some input parameters are missing a value

Missing input parameter values can prevent a script from running successfully. In most cases, this issue is related to dataset configuration, settings, or encryption failure.

Use the guidelines below to identify and resolve the most common missing input causes in ScriptBuilder.

- **The dataset name does not exist**Verify that the selected dataset name exists in the dataset tab. If the name was changed or deleted, the test cannot retrieve its values.
- **Missing values in the dataset** If a dataset contains empty fields, check that the parameter name appears in the [global data](/v1/docs/global-parameters-for-data-sets) tab of the folder, cycle, or project.
- **Global data at the Project level** To ensure [global data](/v1/docs/global-parameters-for-data-sets) is applied to all tests, define it at the project root. The project root is the parent of all tests and guarantees consistent data inheritance.
- **Mismatch between sensitive and non-sensitive settings** Confirm that the global data sensitivity matches the script parameter configuration.
  - If the script expects a non-sensitive parameter (i.e., not encrypted), ensure the global data is also defined as non-sensitive.
  - If the global data is non-sensitive and the script parameter is declared as sensitive, the script should still function correctly.
- **Encryption failure for sensitive parameters** If a sensitive parameter is not set correctly, the encryption process may fail. If the issue continues after verification, contact support for assistance.
