Define the list of drillable regions, using the same Essbase member-set calculation language that is used to define security filters. The list of drillable regions must be enclosed in {brackets}.
The number of drillable regions in a drill-through URL is limited to 256. The number of characters per drillable region is limited to 65536.

Optional: Merge the drillable-region definition instead of replacing it on update.
