Multiple footnotes across multipage record?

[dimitris.xypteras]

Hi to All, this is my first post & my first go at Jasper Studio & Jasper Reports.

I have created a report with a multi-page text field (which includes text as well as data source fields), for which footnotes are required.
I am storing the page number of the referenced text as follows:
$P{REPORT_PARAMETERS_MAP}.put("footnote_x_page",$V{PAGE_NUMBER})
where 'x' is the number of each footnote.

At the footer of the page I have created text fields with the following expression:
$V{PAGE_NUMBER}.equals($P{REPORT_PARAMETERS_MAP}.get("footnote_x_page"))
Evaluation time is set to 'Now'.

This works fine if there is only one footnote; it is dynamically placed in the footer of the same page as the referenced text.
The problem is, if more footnotes are defined then they are all placed on the page of the first referenced text.

Any advice on how to do this properly would be much appreciated; thanks in advance!

I have exactly the same problem, if you've come to an answer, please post here. I wonder how many have the same question.

Hello. Could you show us an example of a footnote report?

Hi. Help me. It doesn't work for me.

It's a lot easier. The example above.
