Add a parameter to an existing parameter set

We have N jobs using a parameter set PS1 (for example) with 5 parameters.
If we add a 6th parameter to parameter set PS1 to be used in a new job, do we need to recompile the former N jobs (which do not need the 6th parameter) ?

No need to compile former N jobs as long as new parameter is not used in them.

Yes you need to recompile all old N jobs which are using same parameter set.

Should be no need; test it and find out.

After testing it, the correct answer is: no need to recompile if the former job does not use the newly added parameter. Thanks all for your attention.

Additional remark: no need to recompile if it is a stand alone job. Recompilation is required if the job is part of a sequence job (otherwise, when running the sequence job, you get the following message: [ParamName does not reference a known parameter of the job]
