If a calculated metric is used within another calculated metric, the nested calculated metric does not retain a link to the original. Instead the nested calculated metrics is a copy of the original. This means if the original calculated metric is changed the nested calculated metrics is unaffected.
Current behaviour:
- Caculated metrics 'A' is nested in Calculated 'B'
- Calculated metric 'B' actually contains a copy Calculated Metric 'A'
- When the original Calculated Metric 'A' is changed the copy within Calculated metric 'B' is unaffected
- Therefore, when calculated metric 'A' needs updating it is necessary to change the original metric and every copy individually (inefficient)
Please can you consider making nested calculated metrics retain a link to the original to prevent us having to make changes in multiple places?
