3703178 - Unable to update dimension comments in SAP Analytics Cloud table using setDimensionComment() API

Symptom

The comment functionality for table is enabled, but dimension comment does not update after triggering the setDimensionComment() API.

Environment

SAP Analytics Cloud

Reproducing the Issue

In an SAC story, select a table cell, then click the button to add dimension comment. The script for Button.onClick() event is like below:

var sel =Table_1.getSelections();

Table_1.getComments().setDimensionComment(sel[0],"Comment Test");

Application.refreshData();

Cause

Other cell, rather than the dimension comment cell, is selected. The setDimensionComment(selection: Selection, value: string) API only works when it gets the selection of dimension comment cell.

Resolution

Ensure that the dimension comment cell is selected before adding the comment.
