Subreport not updating in reports on the server

I have a subreport that I use in the header over multiple reports.  It works fine, except, if I make a change to this subreport (the appearance not the data), compile and publish it, it does not update on any of the reports on the server.  It works fine in Studio 6.4.3, the changes show up almost immediately, but they do not on the server. The only way I'm able to get them to appear on the server is to republish each report it belongs to and overwrite the resource.  This kind of takes away from the point of using a subreport.  I could make those changes on individual reports then.  It's not just this subreport either, it's all of them I use throughout the reports.

I'm currently using the expression "repo:Project Packet Sheet Header.jrxml" I've tried pointing to the .jasper and using a subdir parameter like $P{BASE_DIR} + "Project Packet Sheet Header.jasper".  There is no difference.  I also don't understand why jaspersoft insists on copying every resource into a sub directory for every report in the repository.  This is what I'm thinking is the root cause as these don't seem to be updating properly.  I've tried doing a refresh on the files in the Repository Explorer in Studio too and that doesn't seem to do anything.  Why does it not just point to the place where the original resides in the repository instead of copying the file?

I've searched and read about everything I could find on subreports and all imply this is the correct method and should work.  But maybe there's still something wrong in my execution?

Hi

I am not sure if this is relevant or not but I had a similar issue but with
shared images.

For some reason the images were removed from the base "ROLE_USER" user role so
although the user was part of that role, the role itself did not have permission
to access the images. ( actually only the administrator had access.)

Unfortunately, that's not an issue at this time, as these are new reports I'm still running them only as admin.  It is a good point though, and I just double checked, but everything looks fine roles wise.

I'm not sure this may be the reason I assume there is an old subreport. jasper file in the server and each and every report is still using the old .jasper file to fill the data.

I had same problem using JasperStudio.

I resolved  it by generating a new .jasper file for all the subreport that i wanted to update, and then re-uploaded the full report.
