+# Reference: Common Issues and Solutions
+
+This pages describes common issues when implementing SSoT integrations and their respective solutions.
+
+## Converting Types Between Database and Pydantic
+
+Developers are able to override the default loading of basic parameters to control how that parameter is loaded from Nautobot.
+
+This only works with basic parameters belonging to the model and does not override more complex parameters (foreign keys, custom fields, custom relationships, etc.).
+
+To override a parameter, add a method with the name `load_param_{param_key}` to your adapter class inheriting from `NautobotAdapter`:
+
+```python
+from nautobot_ssot.contrib import NautobotAdapter
+
+class YourSSoTNautobotAdapter(NautobotAdapter):
+    ...    
+    def load_param_time_zone(self, parameter_name, database_object):
+        """Custom loader for `time_zone` parameter."""
+        return str(getattr(database_object, parameter_name))
+```

 You can check out the [Use Cases](app_use_cases.md) section for more examples.
