Optional Prompt is displayed with check box checked by default.

Troubleshooting


Problem

When you create a Date prompt in a Report Studio and make it optional, the check box that appears with the prompt will be checked by default and users will need to uncheck it if they do not want the filter applied. Being an optional prompt, it may be preferable to have the check box uncheked by default.

Symptom

If users running the report do not un-check the prompt (since it is optional) they will get back filtered data.
