Date Prompt in Report Criteria Set

, ,

I’ve created a RDD with multiple BAQ’s with an optional parameter for a Date field. The BAQ parameter does not have a default value and is flagged to Skip condition if empty. The prompt in the RDD’s Report Criteria Set also doesn’t have a default value, but since it is a date field, you cannot select empty string.

Unfortunately, when the Report Style that uses this Report Criteria is selected, the date is defaulted to today’s date.

Anyone know of anyway to get the date to default to blank.

I’ve checked on a Customization, but it is not that simple due to some other issues. One is if the default report style doesn’t have criteria, the default code to add the EpiDataView for the ReportCriteria will cause an Exception, since the ReportCriteria is not created. Also, the only adapter available is the RptSubmission, so I can’t use the RptDataDef.GetPromptsAndFiltersForReportCriteriaSet to set the value.

This is occurring in a 10.2.400.5 environment.

Thanks,
Karen
