Applying styles to fields with Print Repeated Values set to False

Scenario:

In the report you have a field in a table or a field in detail band that is set to not print repeated values. You want to apply a style to the field. The style only applies to the field as it's first printed but doesn't apply afterwards. How do you fix this?

Solution:

The style is indeed only applied to the field when it's printed. Since we have set it to not print repeated values, the style won't get applied. You can instead apply the style to the cell object (in case of a table) or put the field inside a frame and apply the style to the frame instead.
