iReport add/modify variable dialog

Question

This is very dumb - but I've seen all the tutorials and guides - and my version (iReport 3.6.0) of iReport does not seem to match what I'm seeing.

I need to create a new variable and use the add/modify variable dialog to format my variable - and to enter the conditions for it (Variable Expression).

I've spent the better part of a day trying to find this dialog - no luck.

I can add a variable via Report Designer. I see no option to do anything further than this.

The odds are long on finding an answer here - but the odds are better than I currently have. ;)

Thank you.

Answer 1

Got it! Finally!

Highlight the Variable and go to Properties.

Not obvious AT ALL!

Answer 2

hi

i got a similiar problem. but going to properties does not offer all the options what are important to set, just like calculation type or variable expression. Anyone knows where these inputs can be found.
