Set up current period
My final goal is to be able to update the "Current period" from the Dashboard.
I created a SYS Current Period module (with a single line item: Format: Period Month) and added an action that I put into a process.
When I run the process (or Action) I have an error :
- - Line Item Errors:
- • SYS Current.Current period
- Internal Server Error (1 occurrences)
- • SYS Current.Current period
Please help !

Are you an admin of the model and did you use the native action to update the current period (that is the only way to do it)?

Thank you for your support. There is no error anymore.
My mistake was related to the Current Period system module, where I had set up a formula to calculate the current year.
I was thinking that this could update according to the actual date.

Wow this really helped! @rob_marshall
How do I import that to a model though? I am receiving this error
Item not located in calendar for period type Month : Current Period

Is the time period part of the timescale of the model?

Time scale is set to not applicable both in Data hub and model

And what does the module look like where you are loading the Current Period?

You have to import into that from your data hub and the best way is to have a dummy list with one member and one Top Level member in it and dimensionalize that line item by that dummy list. It is explained better here.
