  Cause
  
  
  Incorrect Default Value in a Variable or Input Control:
  
  The error indicates that a default value assigned to a parameter, variable, or input control in a WebI report is invalid or does not match the expected data type or format.
  
  
  Mismatch Between Parameter Type and Default Value:

  Issues with Server or Function Definitions:

  Identify the Problematic Parameter or Input Control:

  Look for any default values that do not conform to the expected data type or format.
  
  
  
  Correct the Default Value:
  
  Ensure that the default value matches the expected type (e.g., date, number, string).
  For date parameters, use the correct date format as expected by the system.
  For list-type parameters, ensure the default value exists in the list of valid values.
  
  
  
  Review Server and Function Settings:
  
  If the error message provides specific server, function, or parameter names, review their configurations.
  Check any custom functions or extensions used in the report for correct default values.

  If input controls are involved, try deleting and recreating them with correct default values.
