Problem Note 69929: Parameters in SAS® Visual Analytics reports might be duplicated with the same name as existing ones when saving an object template for a container
You might encounter an issue when saving an object template for a container by using the Save to Objects pane option. If the container includes a report object that uses a parameter, then the parameter might be duplicated with the same name as the existing one when you add the object template in a new or in the current page
You might encounter this issue when performing the following steps:
- Create a new report that includes a Precision Container.
- Add a drop-down list and a text object.
- Create a new parameter based on a category data item and add it as a role for the drop-down list and the text object.
- Save the report.
- Select the Precision Container ► three dots menu ► Save to Objects pane.
- Select Include Data items. The container is saved as an object template in the Objects pane.
- Select the container and add it into a new page or to the current page.
Note: The parameter in the Data pane appears twice with the same name.
The expected result is that the parameter is duplicated but with a different name. Here is an example showing Country Parameter:
