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!

@ColinBergmann_ct -- Thanks for reporting the issue you are seeing. I just did some quick tests with the web experience in this blog post, and the parameter that changes feature selection appeared to be applied as expected across sidecar slides.

Could you provide links to your story and web experience with the parameters you are using so we can take a look? If you are not able to share your app with everyone, please contact Esri Technical Support and they will be able to help.
