Symptom
To prefill the Data Action parameters via scripting, the parameters are connected to input controls on the page.
The prefilling works fine when executing the DA, but after executing the data action with a manually selected value, the prefilling does not work anymore.
Environment
SAP Analytics Cloud
Reproducing the Issue
In a story, insert a Data Action Starter configured to run a Data Action with a dimension which uses input control as value in the parameters.
Insert an input control with this dimension.
In view mode, click on a table row so it prefills the input control.
Run the Data Action and confirm the dimension value is the one selected in the table.
Run again the Data Action and manually select another value for this dimension.
Click on another table row so it prefills the input control with a 3rd value.
Run again the Data Action
=> it keeps displaying the manually selected value.
Cause
This is the expected behavior.
Resolution
The prompt dialog for a Data Action Starter is always opened with the recent selected value if opening it multiple times and having changed a value selection manually.
