Research direction

Start with the linked ROS 2 documentation on parameter callbacks and determine whether declaring or undeclaring parameters from the pre-set callback is supported without deadlock. Then identify the relevant implementation and tests in the repository; done means the behavior is verified and mapped parameters can be declared or undeclared safely when the key field changes.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When the key field changes, the pre-set callback could be used to declare/un-declare mapped parameters. This assumes that you can declare in the callback and that won't cause a deadlock; this requires testing to verify. Reference to the docs on pre-set callback:
