Comments

• This is expected behavior.
  The problem happens when we try to drill down on a data item
  expression that uses another data item:
  <dataItem name="Level">
  <expression>roleValue('_levelNumber',[Products])</expression>
  
  When doing drill down in classic viewer we don't show the level
  of Products but the children of Products, so we don't execute
  the function expression.
  When doing drill down in interactive viewer, we do not have the
  expression information so there is no way to modify the
  expression when drill down.
  
  In 10.2.2 the drill down doesn't work at all for this report,
  hence this is not regression either.
