Is it possible to name a frame?

[razvan_s]

Can one attach a name to a frame in JasperStudio?

The reportElement key is one way to tag the elements in general.

You can use this Key tag to reference the element. in the below jrxml I'm hiding the $F{DUMMY} inside the frame when exported to xlsx.

@reportdev I would like to name a frame so that I can see the name in 'Outline' instead of just 'Frame'

[reportdev]

tried chaging the source code and add a name to the frame, but the api does not allow it.

I believe there is no way to get this functionality in the current version.

please raise a request with the support, so that they can add it in the next releases.
