RESOLVED | ReSubmit button does not work in Cognos Portlet.

Hi All,
I have a report studio report that is displayed in a Cognos portlet. This main report does not have prompts.  The report drills through to other dashboards that have prompts at the top of the report page. The drill through reports have 3 prompts at top of page and a resubmit button next to the prompts. The drill through reports open in the same window in the portlet. 

Issue is that the resubmit button does not work in the Cognos portlet. No action occurs when clicking on the button. This is not an issue when run in RS.

Portlet works fine when prompts changed to auto-submit.  However, prompts were specifically designed to not auto submit so that users can select make selections in multiple prompts at one time instead of having to wait for the page to refresh after each prompt selection.

Considered a Global prompt exposed via another Cognos viewer.  This works well for multi-tab portal pages. Not sure if this would work for this case as the prompts are not relevant on the Main report. Not sure if it matters, but its a relational package.

Has anyone run into this? I'm thinking maybe a resubmit button created via JavaScript is needed.

Any ideas are appreciated!

Prompt button type FINISH instead of Reprompt, did the trick.
