run in step with service with a query string reference doesnt work

It seems like this might've been intentional to say "running in step wont be able to recreate the query strings, so it wont work, so you cant do this". However, there is a case where the page has a Prevalues with a xsl choose that says:

If query string
Use that
Else
Use default values

In this case, run in step would have worked, but it failed because of that functionality. The specific exception had a non-useful error message (probably object reference not set to the instance of an object).

If it is intentional, could the message be changed to something like "services with query strings cannot be ran in step"?

Or, the preferred option would be to just allow it to run in step.

This was a scenario encountered by Matt H and Joe.

Task #10596 has been created. This post will be updated when it has been created.

More recently I ran into an issue with Nathan where this was happening as well as another issue which was the real root cause.

It took a while to figure out this bug was just always happening and find the real issue.

This also makes it harder to develop since the Prevalues might have good logic set up to say "if the query string is blank, use some other hardcoded value". but instead the prevalues just throws an exception.
