We have raised an SR for this too, a couple of months ago

Same thing here. We have faced this issue again in the past (same dates as the other users reported here) and we faced it again this morning.

You can call the variable in a section title, check the screenshots in my first post. The problem is that you cannot manipulate it in any way so this is why I wanted to find a way to initially change its type. I have found some references online mentioning "The repository variable doesn't support the date datatype from…

I am aware of all these features, my problem is specifically for a SECTION TITLE in my Dashboard and for there only. This is the only place in the Dashboard that I haven't found a solution for.

Venkata Yaswanth Ramisetty Yes, as a custom solution this will work. I will have a character though but not a date. If there is no possible way to cast as Date the current one, I will have to create a new one as a character as you mentioned. Thanks for that Ideally I woudn't want to change this variable's type as I use it…

Joel Acha No, Unfortunately none of these commands that work fine in Answers seem to work in the Section titles

Venkata Yaswanth Ramisetty I will try this, thanks

None of these commands is being recognised in the Titles. For a biServer variable (have to mention again my variable is not a Session one but a Repository one) tthe right syntax to call in a title is @{biServer.variables[‘variablename’]} and no other command can be combined with that (I tried cast and a lot other options,…

No, as I mentioned the type in the Session Manager is LONGVARCHAR. To clarify, this is a Dynamic Repository variable and not a Session one.

Yes I know it's a string (I don't know why though), so I am trying to figure out how to change it to a date format so it works in my dashboard. I changed the select statement in the initialization block using the TO_DATE function but still when I test the value of the variable remains the same

Thanks a lot for the answer!
