3807197 - RefreshData() after Data Action causes unchanged planning cells to be highlighted as modified in SAP Analytics Cloud

• Calling refreshData() after running a data action from an input control onSelect causes unchanged planning cells to appear as modified (yellow highlight).
• Since 22.07.2026, the .refreshData() API highlights cells in yellow even when their values did not change after the data action.
• Previously, yellow highlighting occurred only when data changed due to a data action or a manual entry.
• Newly calculated data must display automatically without manual refresh by the user.

• SAP Analytics Cloud

1. Use an input control for the company dimension in a story.
2. In the input control onSelect scripting, first run one or more data actions and then call table refresh (for example, .refreshData()) to show results without manual toolbar refresh.
3. Observe that table cells within the data action scope are highlighted yellow as modified even when their values did not change.

A known bug caused unchanged planning cells to be marked as modified after refreshData() following a data action.

1. Update to a release that contains the fix: Wave 2026.8.13, Wave 2026.14 (next patch), or Wave 2026.15 (QRC), where the correction is included.
2. After the update is applied, validate that unchanged cells are no longer highlighted as modified after running the data action and refreshing the table.
3. If an immediate update is not possible, note that no workaround is available based on current information.
