Helper IDate parameter not getting refresh after updating previous parameter
Hello RussellBode,
The Test parameter only works when visible because SSRS only auto-refreshes dependent parameters (From/To) when a visible parent changes. Hidden/internal parameters break the cascade. Remove the Test parameter, fix the "Date" dataset to return real dates (PlannedPayPeriodDateStart AS StartDate, PlannedPayPeriodDateFinish AS EndDate), set correct Value fields, enable Always refresh in Advanced tab for From/To, and order parameters correctly Pay Period → From → To. This will auto-update dates instantly on Pay Period change. Try and confirm.
Thank you.
