StoryMap Embed not retaining URL parameters

[GregoryHanton]

Hi, has there been a change to the Embed option in StoryMaps at the October or November update releases?

I've previously embedded a number of Dashboards within a series of StoryMaps (each StoryMap focusses on a different geographic region) with each embedded Dashboard having URL parameters. This had worked really well, saving me from making multiple copies of a Dashboard (for each region) and instead using the URL parameters to filter the layers in my Dashboards.

However, when I try and embed a Dashboard with URL parameters now it is instead embedded into my StoryMap with the URL parameters removed. Even if I copy the URL of a previously embedded Dashboard via the settings in the StoryMap (which displays the URL parameters and filters as expected), and embed this again, the URL parameters are removed from the URL.

The format of my URL parameters are:

DashboardURL#region=Name%20Name

Thanks in advance for help / guidance to resolve this!

@GregoryHanton - I'm sorry that you are seeing issues with embedded dashboards. No recent changes in this behavior are expected. Are your StoryMap and dashboards shared with everyone? If you can you provide links we can try to look into this for you.

If they are not publicly available, please contact Esri Support and they can help you troubleshoot.
