Can no longer format boolean field as check box in OOo 3.3 RC Base reports
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:45:09 UTC
I used to be able to create a report in OOo Base 3.2.1 (without using Oracle Report Builder) where a boolean field could be displayed as a check box. I can no longer format a boolean field in this fashion in OOo Base 3.30 RC8. If I try to add a check box control, I cannot associate the check box control to any field, let alone a boolean field. Has this functionality been removed or replaced?
Please describe step by step what you can do in OOo 3.2.1 and not in OOo 3.3, to help figure out the bug.
I have a database created in OOo Base 3.2 that has one table, "Accounts". This table contains several fileds. One of thse fields is "Active", a boolean. When I use the report wizard in OOo 3.2 Base to create a report (Query_Accounts) that contained the field "Active", the boolean field was automatically displayed as a check box. I did not do anything special to get this displayed as a check box in the report. Now, using OOo base 3.3.0 RC8, I attempted to create another report containing the field "Active". Now the boolean field displays os either 0 or 1. I can change this to TRUE or FALSE, but I cannot make the field display as a check box in the report. So I attemped to add a check box control tot the report. But when I do this I am unable to associate the check box control with any field.(see report Accounts) The bootom line is that now in OOo 3.30, i cannot display the boolean filed as a check box. I am attaching the database to this issue.
Created attachment 75538 [details] database Accounts that contain report with and without checkboxes
I checked in OOo 3.3RC9 and the "old" report wizard not create check box. It works in OOo 3.2.1. It seems to me as regression.
in this case, let's assign, set the keyword, and target it
