Date/Time Parameters in SSRS Linked Reports (PBIRS September 2021)

[Number_271]

Hello,

My organization is using PowerBI via an application that also hosts SSRS reports; currently Power BI September 2021 update is in place. 

There is a problem that is occurring with SSRS linked reports. When attempting to set default parameters for a linked report, PBIRS will not allow you to "Apply" the changes if there are any date/time parameters on the report UNLESS you set values for those date/time parameters. The message "A valid datetime value is required" appears, even if the RDL in question does not mark these parameters as required in its design. In previous versions of SSRS, this was not necessary.

Is this fixed in a later version? Or is this a bug.

Hi @Number_271 ,

This issue has been fixed in Power BI Report Server January 2022. Here is my test:

This looks like a bug in the Sep 21 release. I do not see this same issue in the Jan 22 release.

Thank you for this. I will review this information with the application vendor and follow up.
