Wouldn't it be nice to have:

 

<detail>

<band> <printWhenExpression><detailA></printWhenExpression>

...layout1

</band>

<band>

<printWhenExpression><detailB></printWhenExpression>

...layout2

</band>

</detail>

Is there any chance that a patch to provide this functionality would be accepted into the main line?

Hi,

 

Yes, patches are always welcomed.

But before embarking into coding this, I would

only remind you that any report section can be

split into multiple bands using dummy groups.

For the detail section, is just about using groups

with the expression based on the REPORT_COUNT

variable. Such groups break with every record in

the data source and thus we have extra group

headers and footers that behave like the detail.

 

I hope this helps.
