Symptoms

When navigating dashboards, drilling into data from one analysis to another analysis using an actin link is failing. In cases where a user navigates to a dashboard using a variable from one analysis and clicks an action link to drill into data, the variable is not passed. The second report does not take into account the variable from the column from which the drill starts and resulting data is not as expected.

For example:

=====================
Report1 uses dashboard prompts as input and sets presentation variable.  

Report1 passes input via action link to Report2 to drill into the data (filtered by presentation variable).

In older versions of BI  this worked fine, the variable filter gets passed and user sees expected data in the Report2.
