Bug? Inline subreport in inline element

[David We]

I am wondering if the following is a bug. I am using PRD 5.0.1.

When I add an inline sub report into an inline section (e.g. details band set to inline), I am unable to preview or print the report? For example, if I try preview the report, I get the preview report window without any data and the message "report initialized failed" is shown at the bottom.

Other things appear to get funky too. For example. If I have an inline subreport in an inline section and I try to add an element like a text field. The text field is not visible in the design panel on the left.

Is this a bug?

Thanks,
David

Is my post clear? Is an inline sub report in an inline section simply not allowed?

Thanks,

You might have been the first to actually try that option. From the logic of the reporting engine, a inline-subreport in a inline band should be totally valid. So the fact that it does not work is a bug.

I created http://jira.pentaho.com/browse/PRD-5116 for this case.

Thanks Taqua for the reply, for determining it is indeed a bug, and for creating the case. I appreciate it. I am surprised I am the first to try this.
