@kapa.ai is it a known issue that in the elementary dashboard Result Description is always static irrespective of the slice that is selected and shows the description of the alphabetically last slice ?

Yes, this appears to be a known issue. Based on the knowledge sources, there is a GitHub issue and related discussion describing exactly this behavior for

dimension_anomalies

tests: When multiple dimension values fail, the alert/result description previously only showed the last row's description (one dimension's info), ignoring all others. This was caused by

test_results_description

always being set to

rows_with_score[-1].anomaly_description

— a single row — meaning multiple failing dimensions were silently discarded from the description. [GitHub PR #971] A fix was developed (PR #971) that addresses this: • When ≤5 dimensions fail, each failing dimension's full description is shown (joined by

|

) • When >5 dimensions fail, a count summary is shown:

"N dimension values are anomalous. Showing first 5: dim1, dim2, ..., and M more."

[GitHub PR #971] There is also a related (now closed) GitHub issue (#1772) noting that when multiple anomaly tests exist for the same column, the dashboard only displays the last test, which is consistent with the "alphabetically last" behavior you're describing. [GitHub Issue #1772] You may want to check whether the fix from PR #971 has been included in your current version of the Elementary dbt package, and upgrade if not. 👍 0 button 👎 0 button ℹ️ Tip: Mention @elementary.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.
