Did you try this out yourself JackLacava? I Tried with the support but they said it would require a consulting effort.
Yes, and it works for me (v7.4.2).
Scenario:
Button:
Result:
Maybe there is something else that interacts with your switching, like an onload rule on the dashboard.
Note that the fact you're switching to a year outside the Workflow Range of the Scenario, is one of those edge cases that might see slightly different behaviours in different releases (since it's effectively a "should not happen" situation).
EDIT: I just noticed that you're going the other way, i.e. into a future period outside of the Range. In that situation, I can see the behavior being different: in my case, no matter how many times i click, it never goes beyond the year in range - in fact, it stops me from doing it even from the regular UI.
One could argue that the expected behaviour should be to refuse to navigate to an invalid WF time for the selected Scenario, regardless of whether it's in the past or in the future. It could possibly be raised as a small bug, although I've not tested it in v8+.
Hey, thanks!
In my case it is
Scenario 1 = 2024
Scenario 2= all time periods
meaning I do not want to go to 2023 in Scenario 1, only for Scenario 2. But for some reason 2024 is kept in Scenario 2 when clicking the button.
After dialog with the support and AAS they said they got same issue when recreating the setup. The suggested workaround was to use Execute Dashboard Extender BusinessRule instead of Change Workflow on button.
I used this function for my buttons which solves the issue. Now it takes me back to other periods on 1st click 🙂
