RTC Report Dataset Designer - Problem with "Include Caption"

AAA

Hi everybody,

i've just started creating my first reports in nav 2015 and run into a problem.

Here a simple Design of a report to show the problem:

Data Type       Data Source     Name        Include Caption     Paramter in RDLC Layout
                                                                Name            Value
DataItem        Customer        <Customer>
  Column          Name            Name      true                Name_Caption    Name
  Column          Item."No."      Item_No   true                Item_No_Caption Item_No

When i set the Include Caption at a field that is not included in the DataItem, instead of the Caption, the Name of the Data Source is printed. Am i missing something? Or do i have to use Labels for this cases? :roll:

Hey AAA,

Yeah sadly it behaves like this, haven't found a way around it yet
I'd usually just use Text Constants (because of ML Functionality) and add them to the Dataset manually in this case.

Thank you Wisa for confirming this.

Performance wise I always use labels for the captions unless the caption is "calculated". That prevents an additional column in your dataset.
