Symptom
Story variable prompt values are not reflected in a widget in SAC
Environment
SAP Analytics Cloud 2026.2.16
Reproducing the Issue
- Login to SAC
- Open a story
- Set the story variable prompt values
- Click OK
Notice : The selected story variable prompt values are not applied to the widget.
Cause
A widget-level variable prompt is configured for the affected widget (for example, a table). This setting overrides the story-level variable prompt values for that widget.
Resolution
- Open the story in edit mode.
- For the affected widget, open More Actions and choose Variables.
- Select Use Story Variables.
- Click Set to apply the selection.
- Save the story and verify that existing widgets now respect the story prompt.
