  • Live BW

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Log in to your SAP Analytics Cloud account.
  2. Navigate to the Stories section.
  3. Select and open the story that includes variables.
  4. When prompted, input an invalid value or doesn't existing value for the variable.
  5. Press Set to submit the value.
  6. Notice that system will automatically replace the invalid value with a valid, authorized value from the list of values.

The symptom is by design.

Resolution

When inputting a non-existing or invalid value, the system will replace it with the first value in the list upon clicking the Enter button. If the Enter button is not clicked, and you proceed by clicking the Set button, SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) will automatically validate the input and replace it with the first possible valid value.
