    Robert,

    I believe you got it right, yes these are two separate dashboard prompt on two separate dashboard pages. When l'm on Phase I page and move to Phase II page, it's taking the Phase I values to override Phase II values when the two a defaulted to different values and Dashboard Prompt Scope is set to 'Page' When Dashboard Prompt Scope is set to 'Page' my understanding is that when you move from dashboard page to the next, previously selected values should not be passed to other pages.

    Now try removing the limit by, from the second prompted page, just to eliminate those as a possible cause

    Robert,

    I tried clearing the 'Limit by' option and still it didn't work.

    Okay, final try at which point I am completely out of ideas.

    I observe that your two prompts have exactly the same name, try saving one as a different name and then replacing the original prompt on the page with the renamed version and retest, after clearing all caches.

    Robert,

    Initially l thought that's what was causing it and l had created separate prompts. When you edit, they shorten the names but they are two separate dash prompts.

    On shorten the names I wonder if that also happens at runtime.

    It might still be worth trying, putting a prefix on the current name so they will be different no matter what length.

    Did you try renaming the prompt, did it work, I need closure!

    Sorry for the delay, unfortunately it didn't work. It's unfortunate that the users need to use 'Reset to default values' each time they move to another page and they don't like it at all.

    All I can suggest from here is create a brand new dashboard prompt (don't copy the original and cut it down, start afresh) on your second page and add elements to it one at a time until you find out what is the point at which the behaviour manifests.

    If it manifests immediately - that is with a dashboard prompt with the single prompt then I would suggest you screenshot it thoroughly and raise an SR, as I have worked in BI for sometime and never seen this when all of the elements that you have checked have been eliminated.
