Macro Prompts in FM Model for Adhoc Packages

Working on creating an Adhoc Package for use in Query Studio. The package needs to include base metrics and compound metrics and users need to be prompted for Date range and other Dimensions on pulling any of the metrics.

For the prompts, I included filters in the model query subject and built of the metrics. But what I noticed was that, only the base metrics prompt the users and if you drag a compound metric you are not prompted the first time in Query Studio until you hit the re-run button.

Work-around is to use macro filters rather than ?parameter? filters.
