I have a dashboard with 6 dimensional filters (Branch, salesperson, customer, etc.). 5 of the filters are used to trim results in the customer filter. Once a value is selected in the customer filter, end-users select an apply button. This button uses a parameter action when clicking it; it takes the distinct customer value from the filter and applies it to a parameter.
Everything in this workbook works as expected until I pass filter values into it via a URL from another dashboard. When I pass, for example, salesperson value into this workbook, then try to select another salesperson, the parameter action breaks. Selecting a new salesperson then one of the customers and clicking the apply button causes visualizations to go blank. However, if I reselect the salesperson who was passed via the URL, I can select any of their customers and the visualizations display correctly.
My workbook contains sensitive information so unfortunately I cannot share it. Does anyone have an idea about what's causing the parameter action to break?

Hi Mac,
You can't pass values into your workbook from another URL unless you are connecting to a WDC connector which is an entirely different ballgame to what you are describing.
Have you tried doing this in the opposite way - passing your selected values into a URL and navigating/opening a workbook using this data ?
