field aliases & breaking links

edited 8:05AM in FastReport 3.0
Hello,

When designing a report, it's great to use FieldAliases.

Now we would like to be able to have the following:

* field aliases that are localized to the user language
(non-technical french or german aliases for example)


For this, we are trying to change the field aliases on
an existing report. This breaks the field references, because
references use the alias name that has changed.

Can this be improved or is there a workaround?

What would be very nice is to separate the "internal data field"
from the "displayed data field", so that you can change the
alias name (=> displayed data field) without breaking
the link.

Any ideas or comments are very welcome!

Thanks a lot & best regards,

Daniel

    any news on this?

    The idea is to be able to have localized Field-Aliases
    => to have localized Report Definitions where fieldnames are displayed in the users language.

    It would be great not having to rewrite the query for the datasets for every language supported.

    Thanks,

    Daniel

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
