Bug found in ReportDesigner NAV2013 and NAV2015

the problem is the "DataItemLinkReference" in the properties of a DataItem.

If you change this value, save it and next you want to change it back and save it you will see, that the first value is still in the propierties.

Your "DataItemLink" will be changed automatically to the according reference, too.

Example (make no sense but good to explain):

you have 3 DataItems, every of them indented

Item
->Extended Text Header
->->Extended Text Line

In the properties from "Extended Text Line" you change the "DataItemLinkReference" to "item" and save the report with compile.

Next you open the properties from "Extended Text Line" and change the "DataItemLinkReference" to the default value and save the report whith compile.

If you now open the properties from "Extended Text Line" you will see, that the "DataItemLinkReference" has still the value "item".

If you have this problem you can solve it by saving the report as a text-file, edit the text-file and delete the "DataItemLinkReference". Next you import the text-file and compile it.

The bug is confirmed from our solution center in NAV2013 and NAV2015 and is submitted to microsoft to solve it.

Discovered in german version NAV2013

Yeah, same issue, but resolved different way. If you reset to default value it will be not bold and in <> brackets, like: <Item>. change in to just Item, with no brackets, and you are good to go. No hassle with text file then.
