SetTableView cannot broaden DataItemTableView

Description

Report.SetTableView() applies the supplied record view by narrowing the view already defined by the report dataitem's DataItemTableView. It cannot remove or broaden a static dataitem filter. A caller that requests records excluded by DataItemTableView therefore produces an empty dataset rather than overriding the report filter.

Best Practice

Keep only invariant restrictions in DataItemTableView. When callers must select among values, leave that dimension open in the static view and pass the required filter through SetTableView. Review this as a defect only when the report definition and caller together show a contradictory filter.

See sample: settableview-cannot-broaden-dataitemtableview.good.al.

Anti Pattern

Define a static filter in DataItemTableView and call SetTableView with a mutually exclusive filter while expecting the runtime view to replace the static one. The filters are intersected and no records are selected.

See sample: settableview-cannot-broaden-dataitemtableview.bad.al.
