Drill-Through Definition Not Working as Expected

I'm working on a project where our back-end data source is not very consistent and we need to manually validate each day's data before running a new report. We decided to handle this by creating saved reports/views that are run manually.

Our main report has a list of servers with drill-through links to a more detailed report of each server's status. I've created a job to run the drill-through with each prompt value, and have confirmed that each server's report is available in the output versions.

When setting up the drill-through definitions of the parent report (in Report Studio), I set the Action to "View most recent report", and pass the server name data item as the parameter. However, when I try to click a drill-through link, it always takes me to the same server's drill-through report (i.e. the last server in the job, as that is the most recent report) even though the prompt values don't match.

Is the expected behaviour of a drill-through report, when set to "View most recent report", to display the latest version of a report, regardless of parameters?

Alternatively, is this something I can do with a Report Burst? I don't need to email the report, just to cache a version when a user wants to drill-through on the parent report.

"View most recent report" setting will render the last saved output from the content store, by definition.  So, the parameters passed are meaningless.
