  • 1.  Report view does not allow prompt values to be set after report executable change

    Posted 09/18/19 02:48 PM
    ​I have a report view with extensive run history and versions. The old versions provide an audit trail for previous runs, sometimes the business users need to go back and download previous versions. Our normal way of doing report enhancements is to create a new executable (by clicking on "Save As" the old one), make the changes in the new report and later swap the executables on the report view.

    Recently we noticed that sometimes after swapping the executables on the report, we cannot set the prompt values. Clicking on "Set" does not bring up the prompt page.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

    I do not want to create another view as that would mean the loss of the historical versions.

    Thank you.
