Dashboard Report with Default value

Certified Senior Developer

Created an interface rule (see code attached) that displays information via a series of query rules (require a date or datetime value) and a default date value that can be changed by the user. The interface rule works great, but when I associate it with a Report, I get this error. 

Error Evaluating UI Expression Expression evaluation error at function rule!psh_disapprovedDashboard: Rule 'psh_disapproveddashboard' has 1 parameters, but instead passed 0 parameters.

I'm assuming it's because it's looking for the user input for 'ri!year_int'.  I specifically set a default value for this parameter in the interface rule so data would display regardless of whether or not the user changes the year.  Why won't this work when I associate the rule with a 'Report' object? Do I have to make it a

=load(
  ri!year_int: if(isnull(ri!year_int), year(now())-5, ri!year_int), 
  local!noByItobProducts: rule!psh_getNoByItobProducts(datetime(ri!year_int, month(now()), day(now()), 0, 0, 0)),

    Reports do not pass in rule inputs, which is why your interface is breaking: "Rule ... has 1 parameters, but instead [the report context] passed 0 parameters". You can refactor your interface by removing the rule input, adding a new local variable at the top of your load, and setting this new load variable with a default value. Ex.

    =load(
      local!year_int: year(now())-5, 
      local!noByItobProducts: rule!psh_getNoByItobProducts(datetime(local!year_int, month(now()), day(now()), 0, 0, 0)),
      local!noByItobProductsPagingInfo: a!pagingInfo(startIndex: 1, batchSize: 25, sort: a!sortInfo(field:"name", ascending: true)),  
      local!noRenewAgreements: rule!psh_getNoRenewalAgreements(date(local!year_int, month(now()), day(now()))),
      local!noRenewalPagingInfo: a!pagingInfo(startIndex: 1, batchSize: 25, sort: a!sortInfo(field: "agreementDescription", ascending: true)),  
      
      with(
       local!noByItobProductDataSubset: todatasubset(local!noByItobProducts, local!noByItobProductsPagingInfo),

    Thanks! I suspected I may have to change the variable to a local variable. I did as suggested and it now displays in the Report menu but the contents don't update when the local!year_int variable is updated. How do I get the data to refresh?

    Any variables in the load() context will not update whenever you change the value in local!year_int. For any values that need to be updated with local!year_int you can do one of two things: Either move those local variables into with() or copy them into the saveInto attribute where local!year_int is updated.

    Took me a while to figure out how to do this but I did. It's working great now! Thanks so much for your help!!!

    Got an additional issue now...Because I moved the local variables into with(), if the user clicks on a header row to resort the contents, I get an Expression Evaluation error:

    Expression evaluation error in rule 'psh_disapproveddashboard' at function a!gridField [line 48]: An error occurred while executing a save: Expression evaluation error: The save target must be a load() variable, process variable, or node input (or a rule input passed one of those three), but instead was: [startIndex=1, batchSize=25, sort=[field=name, ascending=true]]

    Is there a way to either disable the sort on the grid or fix it?

    As the error states, you can't directly save values into with() variables. If you move local!noRenewalPagingInfo and its' definition into the load() section, you should be fine.
