we have exactly the same issue where we would like to hold global formatting parameters in a global workspace - using the shared workspace name on the Workspace settings allows this to work. I suspect if you upgraded to v8.4 and can create DM Jobs in your workspace you might be able to resolve your issue.

    jarrod- I don't believe this to be resolved in v8.4 but could be the specific use case we have.

    If the parameter is for formatting and referenced in a CubeView, the above settings seem to work ok - even in 7.4.2.  However, if the CubeView is then nested into a dashboard, then the cross Workspace reference does not appear to be resolved.  As a potential work around, it seems that a BR might be able to do this.

    Not sure if others have alternate suggestions.
