Subreports copy from one report to another - issue

I have found the following when I copy one subreport from one report to another (I have 4 reports that are the same but look at different service layer for the initial feature to pass).

• The data source connection does not come with the copy/paste
• The subreport parameter defaults to string parameter (even through the original subreport it’s a number (32))

 

When I create the original subreport the workflow and report will run fine. When you try any workflow/report that had the copy paste of the subreport it does not pass the parameter correctly. I have a feeling is because when I change the parameter to a number (but I don’t create a new parameter – you can just change it directly) it does not keep that it’s a number field and thus doesn’t pass the information properly to the report. 

 

So I think the main message is….DO NOT copy any subreport. You MUST create a new one no matter what.

  I have so many issues with sub-reports. I am finding them incredibly unstable and as a result it is taking me so very long to set up all our reports.

   

  If I add a subreport, create a parameter and then save it BEFORE adding a datasource, it corrupts and won't retain the datasource once I put it in. If I copy-paste a whole subreport it won't retain the datasource either. They don't automatically match the measurement units and page size of the parent, so copy-pasting elements like tables doesn't work until you change those settings.

   

   

  One thing after another! I hope they work on the stability of the product over the next few releases

  I have run into similar issues with subreports as well.

   

  What works the best for m,e if I need to copy any subreport, is the following:

  1. Add a new subreport to my report
  2. Add a data source to my new subreport
  3. Go to the old report and open a subreport, and copy a content of the subreport
  4. Go to the new report and open subreport (make sure the data source was already added)
  5. Paste a content into the subreport of new report.
  6. By following these steps I have been able to successfully copy my subreport, and all the formatting seems to come over as expected.

   

  I hope that helps.
