+# Analytics Designer Restrictions (2025.23)
+
+Source: `help-portal-5128c44bafd04e19a4e1ee352ee1f14e.md` (Known Restrictions in Analytics Designer).
+
+## Popup limitations
+- Popups larger than main canvas render poorly; add ≥2 widgets for proper display.
+- Height/width settings fail with a single widget.
+- Filter line widgets in popups lose source reference after reload; click each popup to reactivate.
+- `setTheme()` does not affect popups directly; place widgets in a panel and set theme there.
+- New theme settings require previewing each popup during design.
+- `enter`/`backspace` keys fail on multiple tables with Optimized Presentation; avoid that option.
+- Planning mass entry, distribute values, value locks, version history unsupported in popups—place table on canvas/panel and toggle visibility.
+
+## Model API limits
+- `PlanningModel.createMembers()` works only for generic dimensions (not Date).
+- Version management APIs unsupported for BPC writeback-enabled versions; use UI publish/version tools instead.
+
+## DataSource function limits
+- `setVariableValue`: no runtime/design-time validation; unsupported combos can error.
+- `setDimensionFilter`: ranges on fiscal hierarchies unsupported; users may still change filters in tables even if selection mode locked; runtime filter selection follows design-time selection mode.
+
+## Smart Discovery
+- Cannot run after SmartDiscoveryAPIs without specifying Entity (pre-2021.1 versions).
+
+## Styling limits
+- Explorer quick menus not controlled via styling panel (Filter/Exclude, Drill, Smart Insight remain).
+- Tables: “Restore to Theme Preference” fails after styling changes; default theme not reapplied.
+
+## Export limits
+- Cannot save a theme as new after deletion.
+- Navigation panel: changing sort order unsupported for SAC models on SAP HANA.
+- PDF export: garbled text possible for CJK/Russian/Arabic; CSS partially applied; custom widgets may be incomplete; only visible widgets in containers export (no scrolled content).
+- Number format APIs do not affect tooltip measures (only axis measures).
+
+## Chart API limits
+- `addMeasure`/`removeMeasure` feeds supported only: `Feed.ValueAxis`, `Feed.ValueAxis2`, `Feed.Color`, `Feed.bubbleWidth`.
+- `onSelect` event unsupported for cluster bubble charts.
+
+## Browser limits
+- Safari: R visualizations with HTML blocked when 3rd-party cookies blocked; Request Desktop Website not supported for analytic apps on mobile Safari.
+
+## Embedding
+- Embedding analytic apps into stories/digital boardroom via web page widget not officially supported.
+
+## Input control limits
+- Only dimension member input controls; calculation input controls limited to restricted measures.
+- Dynamic forecast: calculation input controls for version/cut-over date in forecast tables unsupported.
+- Display: after `setSelectedMembers()` control may show member ID when collapsed/all members selected/hierarchy flat.
+
+## Implementation notes
+- Use provided workarounds where possible; verify restricted features in target browser/device.
