3831595 - Work files not transferred from planning calendar template when generating events - SAP Analytics Cloud

Generate Events with Wizard not retaining the work files from the Template.

SAP Analytics Cloud

1. Go to the planning calendar.
2. Create a new process.
3. Create a general task and assign the process as the parent process.
4. Assign a work file to the task and save it.
5. Save the process as a template.
6. Open the template and verify the work files are still assigned and visible.
7. Return to the planning calendar and start the event creation wizard.
8. Create a new process.
9. Select the context with a model, a driving dimension, and a filter.
10. Select event types from the template created earlier.
11. Leave the people section unchanged.
12. Keep the additional settings as they are.
13. Select the Generate button in the preview section.
14. Open a generated event’s task and check the work file section: it is empty although the template task had a work file.

 The behavior is working as designed from SAC perspective.

From SAC perspective, the UI of the Wizard states under Step 3 that only the Event Types are taken from the template.
"Generated Event Types for Leaf Members: 
[…] 
From Template
[…]"
The attached work files of the events in the template are not considered during generation with the wizard.
