Description Scott Rosenbaum CLA 2007-10-25 11:55:55 EDT 
If you have a working DataCube CrossTab combo.  If you change the name of one of the groups, then the references to that group in the CrossTab will no longer work.   

It would be preferable when a user changes the DataCube Groups or Summary Fields if any references that are used in a crosstab are updated.
Comment 1 Zhiqiang Qian CLA 2007-10-29 03:50:33 EDT 
This is a request to update references in expressions.

I am assigning the bug to 2.3 to investigate the work involved to support this behavior. As already commented by Zhiqiang, we have to parse all expressions and replace with new names.
Comment 4 Rima Kanguri CLA 2008-06-02 17:49:03 EDT 
Dont think we can make this change in 2.3 
Request to move this to 2.3.1.
Comment 5 Zhiqiang Qian CLA 2009-07-15 03:14:38 EDT 
Need more investigation.
Comment 6 Wenfeng Li CLA 2009-07-15 14:00:19 EDT

Comment 7 Scott Rosenbaum CLA 2010-08-18 15:34:27 EDT
