KB33131: Filters applied to an attribute through a hierarchy are not fully applied when the hierarchy is used in a prompt in MicroStrategy Developer 9.x - 10.x

SYMPTOM:
When applying a filter to an attribute through a hierarchy, it does not get applied when used in a hierarchy prompt in Strategy Developer 9.x - 10.x.
 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

• Create a filter to be applied to the attribute.
   
  

• Open the hierarchy editor for the hierarchy that the attribute belongs to.
• Right click on the attribute and select "Define Attribute Filters" and then browse and select the filter previously created. Then save.
   
  

• Create a hierarchy prompt based off of the previously edited hierarchy.
• Create a new report, and add the new hierarchy prompt.
   
  

 
CAUSE:
This is a known issue with Strategy Developer 9.x - 10.x.
 
ACTION:
Strategy is investigating this issue and will continue posting updates as soon as they become available.
 
WORKAROUND:
To see the attribute elements with the filter applied to it, instead of dragging the Month attribute to the Definition window do the following:

• Run the report to get the prompt window. From here, drag the Month from the Object Browser to the Definition window, and click Add.
   
  

• When the object selection window opens, the attribute elements do not get filtered as defined in the attribute filter. 
  
• Double click on the Month attribute on the Object Browser side.
   
  

• Double click on the filter shown in the Object Browser.
   
  

• All of the elements displayed will have the filter applied to it.
