Hi Travis,
Thanks for the explanation, I get it now.
As you said that the values in the Input Controls disappear after refresh, my question to you is, did you select different values in any prompts available during this refresh? If yes, then it's bound to happen.
Example with Continent and Country data: If we've an prompt on Continent and selected Asia in the first refresh, we'll get data in the report for all the Countries under Asia. Now, apply an input control in the report and selecting India, China will result in showing data for those 2 countries in the charts/blocks.
After that, if we refresh the report 2nd time and select Africa in the Continent prompt, then in the report, we'll see that India and China don't even exist in the list of values in Input Controls, which makes sense as we're not bringing data for Asia anymore.
Does that make sense? Let us know if the above example is not pertinent to your situation.
Thanks,
Mahboob Mohammed
