Data Action not behaving the way I expect, what am I doing wrong?

Hello Oracle Analytics Community. Would anyone be able to help me with the following issue? I have what I call a main visualization with data actions. The visualization is an attempt to migrate what is currently an OAC Classic Dashboard Page to DV. I have a data action set up as follows

What I'm expecting with this set up is that all values from the visualization the data action is evoked will pass to the "Totals by Source - YTD. There will be no Parameter Values passed which the canvas contains.

When the data action is executed I get the following which gives me the incorrect numbers because the "Default Time Param Values" are being pass which is what I don't want. Is there a way to not have this particular filter pass from the main workbook? I've played with the properties but nothing seems to be working.

I was able to figure it out. The Data Action needs to be configured appropriately.

For the Pass Values, do not include any attributes/values found in the Canvas Filters because it will be sent over, which is what is happening to me. So I changed from "All" to only the attribute(s) in the viz.
Pass Parameter Values, included the parameters that I need to overwrite the same parameters on the target workbook.

I have seen similar behaviors with different data sets. What happens when you remove the anchor?

Thank you @D Grogan-Oracle for your comment. Nothing happens. I still get the Default Time Param Values passing giving me the same results.

This is behaving rather buggy…maybe raise an SR

Thank you @D Grogan-Oracle. This is exactly what I did. I'll update my question when possible.
