baumgarogmail.com Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 in iReport it easy to link an existing Input control (Folder Input controls in Report Unit) - right mouse - "Link an existing input control"Is this as easy in Jaspersoft Studio possible - I couldn't find the context-menu in the Report Unit.

Solution mdahlman Posted February 10, 2013 Solution Share Posted February 10, 2013 Right-click the report unit and choose "New".From there it will be obvious. (But I understand why you wouldn't think of it at first.) It a different way to think of things, but I think the new flow is better once you're used to it.EDIT: Based on baumgaro's comment, it's clearly not as obvious as I claimed. But you need to choose "Link" when your goal is to link to an existing input control (or link to another type of object). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumgarogmail.com Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Actually this will lead to a new "Input Control" - but I would like to reuse an existing Input Control - "Link an existing input control" from somewhere else in the resource tree in JasperServer. Is this possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdahlman Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 That leads to the ability to create a new input control, of course. But it also leads to the choice "Link" which is what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdahlman Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Important detail: Linking input controls fails for me. (Linking other types of objects works well.)

chicuslavic Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I fixed creation of linked resources inside ReportUnit, now it will workyou can create a linked input control, New->Link and select an input controlor you can just create a new input controlor you can copy & paste an input control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumgarogmail.com Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 thanks for all the answers and the fixing! I do unterstand now - "Link" makes sense - but as mdahlman comments - I get the same error message (http://community.jaspersoft.com/jaspersoft-studio/issues/2743) - the fixed version will be Jaspersoft Studio 2.0.1? - or is there a repository where I can get daily builds?
