Cognos analytics prompts - add a default value based on an expression

It would be very helpful if Cognos analytics prompts supports adding a default value based on a query in addition to being able to choose static choices.. This would be very helpful for creating reports without needing to creating custom code. Currenlty we need to create hidden prompt pages to specify default values based on query and add custom controllers to submit form.

    Hi Rachel.

    I would like to know the status of this enhancement request.

    Is there specific release date when it is planned for implementation?

    I have several reports that I have to implement hidden prompts using Java Script in order just to have an ability

    for the dynamic default values for the prompts in Report Studio.
