Hello,
I am using flexmonster with a custom API implementation. I am seeing what I think may be a bug that seems slightly related to the fix for this. When I have a hierarchy and I move a second field into a column and open that field I see a API request that has a filter that looks like the attached filter.txt file. Specifically I think the following is an issue.
"include": [{}]
It seems like it has a filter applied that includes nothing. Is this actually a bug or should I be filtering this out on the backend?
It only seems to happen when I add the field to a column in a existing pivot. If I load the pivot from scratch with the column included, it doesn't seem to send this request. Only when the pivot is already load and I update it via the UI to include the column
Thanks,
Brian

Here is an example. You can see when I first add the field as a column, it appears to send an additional request with the empty filter. Once I save the configuration with the field as a column and completely reload the report configuration(rather than updating an existing report) it seems to work fine.

Hello, Brian!
Thank you for reaching out to us.
Our team could not reproduce the described case with the empty include filter sent in the custom data source API requests on our side. Please provide us with the example or modify the following JSFIddle to make the case reproducible: https://jsfiddle.net/flexmonster/Lthd6w32/.
With this information, we'll be able to continue the investigation.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,

Solomiia,
I tried recreating it via the example JSFIddle you provided and I was unable to. I suspect it may be because my dataset is slightly different. For example my hierarchy is two levels deep. Could I provide a sample dataset CSV and report configuration that would allow you to load the dataset that can reproduce the bug.
I also noticed it only occurs when moving the field from row to column. If the field isn't in the pivot and I add it via the fields button, it works just fine.
Let me know if providing the dataset would be benefical and I can send it over.
Thanks,
Brian

Hello, Brian!
Thank you for getting back to us.
Our team would be happy if you provided the report and sample CSV data that we can check. We'll try the provided data and configurations with our custom data source API implementation and let you know if the case is reproducible on our end.
If there is sensitive data in your sample dataset, you are welcome to send everything to our inbox.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
