SQL Table Component Not Defaulting

Hello,

Something a little different here. Below is an OS Dashboard. The client is leveraging SmartLinks to navigate specified users here (via Email). Upon selecting the link, the user is navigated here on the browser.

The first red box indicates the Project to select. SmartLinks allows this to be prepopulated so the dashboard is defaulted with the correct information upon arrival.

Everything is working as expected besides the pesky SQL table editor component. 

Web View:

It is important to note that the SQL Table Editor component is populated via Dashboard Extender rule, which is executed when the Project is selected. In this case, the project is already selected, but I cant seem to get the extender rule to execute upon arrival to the dashboard. 

Any ideas? I want to believe this is less with the new SmartLinks feature and more with standard OS logic.
