Bug with setReport() and hierarchies with several levels

Answered
Javier González asked on February 14, 2020

Hi,
We just found an error when using the setReport() API function with hierarchical dimensions configured in some specific way. I have reproduced this error on one of your examples too.
In this example https://jsfiddle.net/flexmonster/7g82cnn3/:

  1. Configure a hierarchical dimension (with several drillable levels) after another non-hierarchical dimension, and then another non-hierarchical dimension after that second one (for example, Gender -> Employee Department -> Base Rate). (See STEP1.png).
  2. Expand/drill down all the dimensions to the last level. (See STEP2.png).
  3. Use the setReport() function with that same report. On your example I used flexmonster.setReport(flexmonster.getReport()), which should not change anything.
  4. You will notice that the last member is now collapsed instead of expanded (See WRONG.png: you can see that the "Amy E. Alberts" member is not expanded now).

This doesn't happen if the hierarchical dimension is on the first position (Employee Department -> Base Rate). In this case, the report looks exactly the same (with dimensions drilled down to the last member) after using the setReport() function.
We found this because we saved some reports on our database with flexmonster.getReport() and we noticed that they didn't look the same after loading them again with flexmonster.setReport(). 
Thanks for your help.
