One of the new features in the 6.6 release is the introduction of Hybrid Source Scenarios. I've watched the 6.6 release and read through the abbreviated examples in the admin guide. Both have good high level content, but they seem to be missing details around the Options section within the Hybrid Source Data of Scenario properties.
Does anyone have any additional details around what options are available and a description of each? Or more content around Hybrid Source scenarios in general?
Thanks,

Hello - I am going to ask that more documentation around the Options are added to the documentation. Below is more detail on the Options:

Hey Eric - thanks for the above, and additional questions:
I was experimenting with Hybrid Copies, and I'd like to only pull over some data from upper level Entities from some Actual months into a Forecast.
In regard to the Entity dimension, it only seemed to pull over data when I had Base Entities as part of my calculation filter. When I tried to pull upper levels alone it would not bring over the data (this is certainly consistent with the setting name of 'Copy Input Data...').
Also I tried to limit the T# Time Periods with a Member Filter (only some for a Year) and it seemed like this was ignored.
Thank you!

That is correct - the member filters on Hybrid Source data are only Account-level dimensions. Data Unit dimensions are invalid. DU dimensions would be supplied when a calc/trans/cons is ran.

(thank you very much Eric!)

Hi Eric, thanks for the additional information. Very helpful!
Do you know if it's possible to copy the last month's data from the source scenario into future years of a target scenario? Our source scenario is monthly and forecast through 2024. The target scenario is for long range planning and we want to have the data from 2024M12 populate the target scenario from 2025M1 - 2032M12.

That cannot be done with Hybrid Scenarios. There is no Time (or any Data Unit) filtering/conditional logic unless you did "Using Business Rule" as the Data Binding Type. But I would argue you should just write a Custom Calc BR at that point. One of the main benefits of Hybrid is the performance and that is mainly achieved by copying all periods in a year simultaneous (and why there is no time element at this moment).

Does the Copy Input Data from Source Scenario option copy all data cell storage types or just input?

It will copy all storage types.
