SYMPTOM
From Strategy Developer, the modification of the Date prompt from Prompt Editor is not get applied in the report c ontains this prompt.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE

  1. Create a Value prompt (Date), and set the default value as Dynamic date (for example, Today-365 days).
  2. Create a Report and add the Date prompt created in Step 1. The report data is showing correct.
  3. Go back to edit the Date Prompt, change the default value from Dynamic date (Today-365 days) to Static date,  and save.
  4. Purge the object cache and report cache.
  5. Run the report. The default value is still the Dynamic date (Today-365 days). By checking the GUID and version ID of the Date Prompt from the Report components, it is confirmed that it is the changed prompt, but the change is not applied.

CAUSE
This is caused by the option "Set the current prompt answers to be the default prompt answers" which has been enabled in save options, so even user changes the prompt default answer from prompt editor, the current answeris still the default answer in this report as this option is checked.
