Very needed!

Completely agree. Also can be useful to add in some way the "Logical SQL" to the session variables, much needed in calculated fields to customize/conditionalize reports.

We recently had a use case where we had to provide the capability to compare the forecast values between any two dates (this client generated a new forecast every day). We could not do this in DV because DV required the prompt for the forecast date to be defined as a range - it did not allow the prompt/filter for forecast date to be a specific date. We then tried to use presentation variables to store a specific date selected by the user but DV did not offer the ability to provide a user choice list for the prompt/filter values like Answers does. So we had to solve this issue using Answers.
The screen prints below are from Answers where we were able to satisfy the requirement.

This feature is essential in the Oracle DV because the presentation variable is needed at many places in the reports.

Missing this very basic feature is an unfortunate obstacle to further progress in our business. This is a must!

Dan, completely agree with you - as N. Amstrong said : "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind"
.To have (from UI) access to all variables (session/repository), defined in metadata is something, is something, which should not be that big deal to implement...
Oracle is chasing for "shiny" new features in OAC/OAS and neglecting (on the other side) to elaborate basic stuff, which is not visible at first glance (and thus not that good for marketing), but are essential for building good reporting system. I hope, somebody is listening to our laments.

This is requested by many customers who need this feature to implement complex reporting requirements in DV.

This will be very helpful, so that the DV side will have the same features that BI classic already has. We need this feature for a big project in our health system. Please consider adding to the future releases. Thanks

I am addressing this comment to Oracle Product Development - this Idea has been created quite long time ago (more than year) and it collected numerous reaction/thubs up. For some time (I think 2 months or longer) it has been marked as "Under Oracle Review". I would like to know, what is the status of evaluation/review and also the decision - whether this Idea is going to be implemented in some reasonable timeframe.
Thanks for Product Development response in advance.
