@Scott and @Gassim we deal with things like this in event reports all the time. Basically once an event report is saved, if you reload the report, it will lose the details of the DEs that are selected in the pillbox âSelected data itemsâ Both the names and the filters (if any existed) will not exist. The data itself, upon load, will still function alright. Once you do any update at all, however, the DEs and their filters go away.
@Matthew_Boddie
You are right! I was creating new reports rather than testing on a saved report, but it turns out that it has nothing to do with âchanging the periodâ as much as the data items becoming an unusable and once we click on âupdateâ they are gone.
And this is how they appear (without values, namesâŚetc):
I see a few issues here. One is that some of the favorites in the demo database are dated, so they seem to be lacking a few things when they are returned from the api. The other is that the app does not seem to be able to restore duplicated data elements / conditions. Not sure why, but it stopped working at some point, have not checked whether itâs a backend or a frontend issue.
We are working hard on getting the new ER app (line lists) ready for 2.38. We donât have resources to patch up the old app right now unfortunately. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Hmmm, I wouldnât necessarily mark this as a âsolutionâ
We have hundreds of Event Reports (using the pivot option, not as line listings) with complex filter conditions that get blatted every time we open them to edit or copy. Manually re-filling in the conditions to make a single change is a pain, and users are complaining.
We have updated our 2.36.x instance to the latest patch (.12), which didnât really help. The option to upgrade to 2.38.x is on hold until we resolve other issues weâve reported over the last week.
Iâm looking around the forum to see if this problem has subsequently been resolved in 2.37.x or 2.37.8
