printing variable in group header

[hvm]

 Hi,

We have a question about grouping a report on a jasperReport Variable. 

 

The reproduction path:

I have a Variable with name "tstVar". The expression of that variable is just the value of one of the fields of the report. For example:

variableExpression     $F{profielNaam}

 

Next I made a report group; the grouping expression is the just made variable:

groupExpression $V{tstVar}

 

In the group header I print the variable field:  $V{tstVar}

 

The result is that the group header always prints the value of the previous record. In the first group is is "null".

At this moment we use JasperReports version 3.1.

You will have to set evaluationTime="Group" and evaluationGroup="..group name.." for the text field in which you display the variable.
