Alternate States-Pass All $- Selections to Alternate State

Hello Folks,

I'm using Alternate States with QS August 2022.  Because I have charts that have combined measures, I find myself passing in the dimensions/years from the default state into my Set Analysis.

i.e

 

Sum({"State1"<Year=$::Year> + "State2"<Year$::Year> + $} Sales)

 

 

With each selection available to the user, the text between the brackets get longer and longer resulting in a monstrosity.

 

Sum({
"State1"<Year=$::Year,[Lactose Intolerance]=$::[Lactose Intolerance],[Horoscope]=$::[Horoscope]..> + 
"State2"<Year$::Year,[Lactose Intolerance]=$::[Lactose Intolerance],[Horoscope]=$::[Horoscope]..> + 
$} Sales)

 

 

Repeating each and every field that could be selected seems to have a code-smell and will lead to an insanely brittle dashboard. 

 

Is there a way to pass all the non-listed fields to the alternate states?

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I typically address this kind of requirement using the set intersection operator "*". For example, "StateA" * $
