Hi I have a very basic report with one field for testing. When I open the report with either iReport 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 and change the Expression Class from the default of "java.lang.String" to "java.math.BigDecimal" and save the report, the changes are not saved to the jrxml file. If I close and re-open the report, the "java.lang.String" setting is still there. I have downloaded iReport 3.7.5 (arbitrary selection) and did the same test and the setting are saved correctly. I am very new to Jasper Reports/iReport and need some guidance on whether this is expected behaviour in v4.x.x or a bug? Thanks O
