Grouped List Column Body Repeating on Page Break

Here is a scenario I'm struggling with at the moment regarding Grouped List Pagination on a PDF report.

I have a simple list on a page with a group on the first 2 columns (header records) and the last column describes the detail records.  Grouping default functionality works as designed and the PDF groups the first 2 columns and repeats them at the top of each page if a group spans multiple pages.

The first column is an ID so repeating that column is desirable but the second column is a long text description and repeating that column is not desirable.  I thought there would be some kind of pagination option at the List Column Body object to only display a column value once at the top of the grouping but I can't seem to find a way.

CURRENTLY:






Header ID (Grouped)| Header Text (Grouped)| Detail Text
Header ID Val| Header Text Val| Detail Text Val 1
<Page Break>
Header ID (Grouped)| Header Text (Grouped)| Detail Text
Header ID Val| Header Text Val| Detail Text Val 2

ATTEMPTING:






Header ID (Grouped)| Header Text (Grouped)| Detail Text
Header ID Val| Header Text Val| Detail Text Val 1
<Page Break>
Header ID (Grouped)| Header Text (Grouped)| Detail Text
Header ID Val| <BLANK>| Detail Text Val 2

Any help would be greatly apreciated.
Thanks.
