Parameter list acting differently in Tableau Desktop and Tableau Server

Lindsey Abot Feb 8, 2016 10:07 PM

Hi all,

I have a parameter that is working correctly in Tableau Desktop - the Period list will always show the selected Period on top of the drop down list (see left image).

However, when the same parameter is on a published workbook, the selected Period is no longer on top of the drop down list (see right image).

Is this a bug? Or am I missing something here? Appreciate your help!

Cheers,

Lindsey

Hi Lindsey,

Can you share your workbook? I don't think that its a common behaviour, i can take a look at it and try to help

Hi Lindsey,

i have checked the issue and to me this looks like a bug. I initially thought that it might be a version difference so i tried it with v9.0.2 and v9.2 seperately but in that also its doing the same. I feel this qualifies as a bug in tableau server because i liked the desktop one. It helps you quickly jump to the already made selection. You may also try to submit an idea on the same and lets see what happens.
