SSRS report parameter group heading not getting displayed

Hi,

In my class for parameters, I have grouped the parameter text boxes and given them some names, however those group names are not displayed on the parameter dialog and the parameters’ name labels are getting trimmed

The attributes are used by AX if you let it generate the dialog for you. If you’re adding fields by yourself (which makes no sense to me), then you have to add the group by yourself too.

You’ll be much better off if you throw away your code and let AX to do it. If needed, you still can modify dialog fields created by AX.

You could also simulate AX logic in your UI builder by reading the attributes, but it isn’t needed in your case.

Hi Martin,

Yes, I tried that as an alternate way to get the labels. Even that did not help.

SysOperationGroupAttribute('ShipDate', "@SYS10178", '1'),
    
literalStr("@SYS10178") instead of "@SYS10178"... Silly mistake on my part.

Just noticed, I created the post in the wrong forum… Apologies…
