Hello Looker Studio Community,
I'm encountering an issue with setting default parameters at the report level and need assistance on how to ensure these defaults are applied when accessing the report from Looker Studio's home page. Here's a detailed description of the problem:
Issue Description:
- Previously, we could set default values for parameters at the report level without any issues. However, since last week, this functionality seems to have disappeared.
- The option to set default values for parameters is no longer available, and I haven't seen any announcements regarding this change.
- As an alternative, we tried using a controller to set these values. While this appears to work during the setup (the default values are visible in edit mode), the defaults do not apply when the report is accessed from Looker Studio's home page. However, the link shared with parameters does work correctly.
Steps Taken:
- Attempted to set default values directly at the report level, but the option is no longer available.
- Used a controller to set and verify the values in edit mode.
- Accessed the report from Looker Studio's home page, but found that the default values are not being applied.
- Shared a link with parameters, which works correctly and applies the default values.
Current Behavior:
- The controller in the report displays 'please enter the value' in gray instead of the default values that were set when accessing the report from Looker Studio's home page.
- Links shared with parameters correctly apply the default values.
Expected Behavior:
- The controller should display and apply the default values as set in the edit when accessing the report from Looker Studio's home page.
Question: How can we set default parameters at the report level that are applied when the report is accessed through Looker Studio's home page?
Any insights or solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
