We recommend upgrading to the latest release build, ${1:Version} Keeping Tableau Server up-to-date with the latest version ensures that the users have the latest software fixes and features for optimum performance and usability. In addition, many known issues have been fixed in later releases. Tableau Server upgrades are designed to facilitate smooth transitions between software versions. The following link provides step-by-step instructions for upgrading Tableau Server (see "Other articles in this section" for full steps):

To see a summary of the software updates across upgrade versions, refer the Release Notes:

IMPORTANT: Always create a Tableau Server backup manually before the upgrade. To create the backup follow the steps outlined in our Online Help article: https://help.tableau.com/current/server/en-us/backup_restore.htm


It is always best to be working with all the latest fixes before diving too deep into an issue.
 
If you are able to reproduce the issue after upgrading, please let me know and I will follow up with you. Thanks!
