Using an generic parameter in Multi Action

[Ganjos]

Hi team,

I am currently working on a Multi Action in SAP Analytics Cloud that contains four Data Actions from different models.

Is there a way to create a generic parameter (for example, a Year parameter) so that I only need to enter a value such as 2028 once, and then have all the Data Actions within the Multi Action automatically use that same year value?

In other words, I would like to maintain a single parameter at the Multi Action level and pass it to all underlying Data Actions, avoiding the need to enter the year separately for each one.

Has anyone implemented something similar or can confirm whether this is supported?

Thanks in advance.

I think unfortunately not. Cross model parameters are only supported for public dimensions and since version and date are private dimensions in model, they do not qualify. There is an much voted influence request but it seems it will only materialize once there is a support for public date and version dimension. Never the less do upvote the request.

Hope this helps !

Hi @N1kh1l, thanks for the answer, my other question is: Is there any other solution, perhaps using scripting in the story or another approach, that would achieve the same result?
