Hi
As i read the documentation (https://www.flexmonster.com/api/updatedata/) the slice and therefor also the filters, should stay the same when calling updateData(), but as my fiddle below illustrates, the filter is removed.

http://jsfiddle.net/jesperra/92htnwbL/

Am i doing anything wrong, or is this a bug?

Thanks,
Jesper

Hi

I have discovered a new bug.
If flexmonster is initialized without data or with only json-metadata, the filters are not set.
So when loading data later with updateData(), the filters are missing.
This new example illustrates the problem

Thanks

Hello, Jesper,

Thank you for writing to us.

We would like to explain that this happens due to the fact that there are no members to exclude when the report is created.
Since the updateData() API call does not reset the slice, the filter is not reapplied.

Unfortunately, we don't have the possibility to change the described behavior at the moment.
However, there is a quick and simple workaround:
Our team kindly suggests setting the needed filter via the setFilter() API call after updateData().

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Best Regards,
Vera

Hi Vera

Thanks for the quick reply.
I will look into if that suits our needs, or I have further questions.
