BEx: deletion of local formulas deletes definition of calculated key figures

$

Hi all,

 

During our BEx query devlopment process we are encountering the following - quite  annoying - issue:

 

* we make a copy of an existing BEx query (query <x>) for testing purposes

* query <x> contains calculated and restricted key figures (defined on the Infoprovider)
* in this copied query - query <y> - we create a local formula

* in this local formula we use an existing calculated key figure <ck1>

* after testing we delete this local formula in query <y>
* when opening original query <x> it appears that calculated key figure <ck1> is not usable anymore in query <x> because the definition of <ck1> is gone / has been erased!

 

The only way to restore this is to manually redefine the <ck1> formula.

 

This issue is very tricky because of you are not careful and put a new version of query <x> to production it  cannot be executed anymore (error message on incorrect key figure definition)

 

Has anyone encountered this issue?

 

And if so did you find a solution for this?

 

Thanks a lot!

 

Cheers,

Marc
