3708120 - setCurrentDateTime API limitation with user-managed date dimensions in SAP Analytics Cloud

• In SAC Story scripting, the API setCurrentDateTime works as expected when applied to a model with a system-managed date dimension.
• The API does not behave consistently when applied to a model with a user-managed date dimension.

SAP Analytics Cloud

1. Access the SAC Story.
2. Apply the .setCurrentDateTime API to a model with a user-managed date dimension.
3. Observe this does not work.

The setCurrentDateTime API does not support user-managed date dimensions.
