How to force sync of prompt and parameter

Dear all,

I am using Report Studio 10.2 and have set up the following:

A report (repA) with a list and on top of the page a set of prompts linked to parameters (no promptpage) and a drill-through-button to call a more detailled listreport (repB) with the same prompts and parameters.

Scenario A:
  - Populating the prompts using the prompt-button shows correct results in repA.
  - Clicking the DrillThrough-Button after the first step, opens repB with the correct values. (so everything fine here)

BUT
Scenario B:
  - Populating the prompts and using the drillthrough button opens repB but parameter values are empty, though e.g. related Textprompt was populated

AND
Scenario C:
  - Populating the prompts using the prompt-button shows correct results in repA.
  - Changing one prompt value
  - Clicking the DrillThrough-Button, opens repB with the OLD values. (As they where when prompt-button was pressed)

So it looks to me like prompt-values are transferred to associated parameters once the prompt is run.
As the reports are quite timeconsuming it would be great to have a possibility to call this sync without refreshing the complete reportpage or force the sync whenever the prompt (text, dropdownlist, multiselect-checkboxes...) are changed.

Any help on this would be highly appreciated.

Thanks and all the best,
Bernd
