2644553 - Save Time Characteristic as Relative Does Not Work for Specific Fields

Symptom

You have created a report selection with the option Save Time Characteristic as Relative ticked. You have saved a variable on fields like Year Month or Year Week. However when you open the report the next month or week, you see that the selection was not adjusted.

Environment

SAP Hybris Cloud for Customer

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Analysis work center, view Report.
  2. Open the report in question.
  3. In the selection, you have added e.g. the field Year Week.
  4. Enter a variable here, for example 15.2018.
  5. Click on Show More > Save As > Tick the option Save Time Characteristic as Relative and save the selection.

When you open the report the following week, you expect that the Year Week changed to 16.2018, however it still shows 15.2018.

Cause

The feature Save Time Characteristic as Relative only works for date fields, such as Calendar Day, Start Date etc.

Resolution

This feature cannot be used for attributes like month, week etc.
