Post PatronE-mail subscriptions Power BI paginated report - default parameter value
I have a paginated report that has today's date as default parameter. I want to create an e-mail subscription that run's the report with today's date and sends the report to people automatically.
There are 3 options under report parameters in subscriptions
Keep previous subscription values
Use current (rendered report) values
Use default parameter values set by report author - this option is disabled - why is it disabled?
I think I need to select 'Use default parameter values set by report author' but not sure why it is disabled. Please can someone help and how do I enable it. Thank you.

Hi bml123,
AFAIk, Paginated report support to add parameters when you use export API.
Reports - Export To File#parametervalue
For your requirement, I'd like to suggest you directly add expression based filter into the report build instead of passing them from API.(it does not need to manually input and not trigger the limit which not allows your use parameters)Expression examples in Power BI Report Builder

You can take a look at the following link to confirm if your scenario meets the limits or it just means this option has been disabled based on tenant admin settings.
