Symptoms



Custom dashboard templates allow users to implement an 'Add button' feature that will open reports/dashboards with the specified parameters when clicked. 

After adding buttons to a custom dashboard in 18.1 the feature does not work as designed. The buttons in the dashboard will appear in grey (see below) and will not open additional dashboards or reports in the 'Run Reports' tab.

If the dashboard template is run from Reports > Run Reports, the buttons appear in blue (see bellow) and will open addition dashboards or reports in a new tab in the Run Reports section.
