Idea Summary
When a user copies and pastes an Oracle Analytics Data Visualization object that has a dashboard filter configured with a LIMIT BY selection, OAC does not preserve that LIMIT BY setting in the newly pasted visualization.
This creates inconsistent behavior between the original visualization and the copied visualization, even though the pasted object appears to be a duplicate.
Expected Behavior
When a visualization or dashboard filter is copied and pasted, OAC should preserve the original filter configuration, including the LIMIT BY selection.
The copied visualization should behave the same as the source visualization when the same referenced filters and columns are available.
If the LIMIT BY dependency cannot be resolved in the paste location, OAC should notify the author that the copied filter setting requires review.
Business Impact
Losing the LIMIT BY selection during copy and paste can:
cause copied filters to show incorrect or broader value lists
create inconsistent behavior across similar visualizations
increase manual development and validation effort
reduce trust in dashboard output when users see unexpected filter values
Why this enhancement matters
This enhancement would make copy and paste behavior more reliable for OAC dashboard authors. It would reduce manual rework, prevent inconsistent filter behavior, and make duplicated visualizations behave as true copies of the original objects.
It would also improve usability for authors building dashboards with dependent filters, especially in workbooks where filter value lists need to remain controlled and consistent across multiple visualizations.
