Conditional style lost on my reference list report object

[flytrap]

I am trying to use a list object from one report in another report.  I successfully implemented a Layout Component Reference, copied the query, and am getting results in the new report.  However I have a Conditional Style defined on the list column body of the original.  The conditional expression basically renders a row invisible if not met.  The list in the original report works great.

Because the condition isn't using a report-level (style) variable I assumed it would be referenced along with the list object itself.  Not the case.  I get the expected data in my new report but the rows that are "invisible" on the original report are showing up in the new one.   ::)

The Coghelp doesn't mention this, and you can't go back and set a new conditional style on that referenced object...so stuck.  Any ideas or a definitive answer of "yeah, sorry, references won't carry styles or conditionals"?   :P

Ooo - I haven't come across this issue.  I will have a quick look when I get chance to see if I can replicate the problem and find a workaround.

I'll look forward to what you happen to find out.  This is along the lines of being able to have a set of reports (objects), to be used within a multi-page briefing book type of report.

Anyone else out there have reports that are built on other report objects?  I suppose this would include dashboards, but in my case what would be a 10 page report for a customer using 5 services, would be a 15 page report for an 8 service customer, etc. but the overall stucture of the report (including table of contents) would be the same.

;D

MFGF: anything on this?  I am getting ready to put together my briefing book report and can't believe that I need to basically rebuild all my report objects to make this thing happen.  I am hoping I am just missing something big!  Otherwise this tool is not very object re-use friendly!   :o

Many conditional styles at work here...very tedious to re-do them all  :-[

In case anyone still needs an answer, you need to copy the conditional style from the source report from Tools->Manage Conditional Styles
