Create new data groups with OR condition on BAI

The inability to create a new data group with OR instead of AND prevents the display of all the data on the dashboard make it impossible to "merge" data when using multiple tracking ids. 

We need a way to either merge tracking ids data or just create a new data group with OUR instead of only AND

    Hi all. 

    It would be very useful and will fix problem like the scenario exposed below;

    -------------------------------------------------------------------

    TS019601606

    Hi team.

    Product version: CP4BA 24.0.1 SAAS - BAI

    Last week we made a change (a simple if) to our workflow and the new version (20250613_1147) of the process (Gestão de Contratação e Desenvolvimento de Soluções de Tec) was deployed. All instances were migrated from previous process versions for that new one version.

    Somehow a new trackingId for tracked variables was created (TOBEGDS_trackCont1748287289524) instead of keeping the original one (TOBEGDS_trackContratoSoftware) from previous versions of the process.

    We fixed that, we created a new version of the process (20250616_1024) and put the trackingId as "TOBEGDS_trackContratoSoftware". The new version was deployed and we choose (again) to migrate all instances from older version to the new version.

    We’re now unable to see the whole instances's data on our BAI's widgets for these different process versions.

    We also noticed that on the view tab, if we change the selected data to the one in the trackCont, we can see the data, but since we can’t create a new data group with OR instead of AND it’s not possible to see all the data on our dashboard.

    Do we have a way to display both of this data groups on BAI or should we do something at BAW end?

    We currently have instances of this behavior.

    Due to this new track, we’re now unable to see the data on our BAI's widgets for the new instances for this process.

    We also noticed that on the view tab, if we change the selected data to the one in the trackCont, we can see the data, but since we can’t create a new data group with OR instead of AND it’s not possible to see all the data on our dashboard.

    Do we have a way to display both of this data groups on BAI or should we do something at BAW end?
