Rally: Pie Widget - Clicking Chart Section Fails to Display Rows in Table Component

Products

• Rally SaaS

Issue/Introduction

Users experience an issue where clicking on a section of the "pie" widget does not filter and display the corresponding rows in the associated table component, even after a query has been successfully executed.

When a query is run and results are displayed in the pie chart and the accompanying table component, clicking on any slice of the pie chart does not update the table component to show only the records relevant to the selected slice. The table remains unchanged or empty.

Example Query: The issue is observed when using queries such as (Parent.FormattedID != null) for tracking items.

Environment

Rally SAAS

Cause

The Widget is failing because the query attempts to read the "FormattedID" of a "Parent object" that may not exist. Users can't access a property on an object that is "null"

Resolution

Please use one of the following simpler queries instead, as you check if the Parent object exists before trying to access its properties:

• (Parent != null)
• (Parent.ObjectID != null)

Try one of these, and the issue is resolved.
