How are people handling scenario data copies?
I’m trying to create a dashboard with a button to call a DM job to copy from a static source scenario to a target parameterized Scenario. Is there a way to pass a parameter in a DM job?
Alternative is to have the dashboard button call a custom calc BR that runs the data copy, but I don’t know if I’m able to do that bc I keep getting an “invalid destination data unit in script” error. I don’t know if I can run a scenario data copy from a custom calc.

    Also, the "invalid destination data unit in script" error is likely because you have one of the Data Unit dimensions (Cube, Entity, Scenario, Cons, Time) in your destination. This should come from the job you run and not specified directly in the api.Data.Calculate
