display name - dataset output columns vs table binding

bmuskie

Hi,

Under v2.5.0, I've specified the column Display name in Dataset. But, when I try to create a table in the layout tab, the column Display name in the Table's binding is still blank. Is there anyway to bring across those name?

Thanks!

Hi bmuskie,

If I add display names in the dataSet and drag the dataSet into the design window to create a table, the display names are carried over to the binding tab of the table. I checked this in 2.5.0. How are you creating your table? Just dragging single elements over? Was your table already created before adding the display names? Let me know.

Hi mwilliams ,

Thanks for the prompt reply again.

Since I need to customize the columns, I've dragged the Table from the Palette and manually bind the Dataset to that Table. And, the procedure is:

1. create Dataset
2. edit (create) the Column Display Name
3. Drag the Table from Palette
4. Bind Dataset to Table

Cheers!

bmuskie, 
 
Ok, by dragging in a table and binding it to the dataSet and manually dragging columns over, I see what you're talking about. I also confirmed that this is still the case in 2.5.2. Please log a bug for this at <a class='bbc_url' href='http://www.birt-exchange.org/bug-reporting/'>Report Bugs - BIRT Exchange</a>. Thanks.
