Current column index in expression builder

Hi,

when editing table's data binding expression is it possible to get current column index? Something similar as how to get the current row index.

That information might be accessible in the DataSet (via scripting) however the rest of the report does not care. If it did, it might break if you add a new column to the middle of your SQL and then refresh the Table binding.

What are you trying to do?
Maybe you could use column display name to tell it what column number it is?

I have a report where I dynamically add columns using existing columns as templates. After column creation I need to create new data bindings and assign those for copied columns data items. I was trying to figure out if it is possible to use column index to refer data set columns which would allow me to skip data binding creation as existing data bindings would be generalized. As always I was looking for a solution with less "moving parts"

My report is using scripted data source.
