Bug: Font style of conditional report element won't save

Support,

When you try to change a conditional report element's font style to anything but 'Regular' the change will not be saved properly.

To duplicate the problem in the Library app:
1- click on Fee.Amount element in Details band
2- Attach conditions
3- attempt to change the Font Style to anything but Regular.

Oops -- I forgot to say the example was from the Member Fees report.

1 more issue with conditional elements in Reports. It does not appear possible to include ONLY conditional text in a report element. I am able to get conditional text to appear in a report element ONLY when it is part of an arithmetic calculation that includes a BO.attribute.

For example, in a conditional element:
This WORKS: 'Total '+Bo.attribute
This DOES NOT: 'Total'

Am I missing something?

1 more part of conditional report elements is not saved when changed:

conditional report elements will only retain centered formatting.

To confirm this:

1- Open Library bsv
2- open Report: Member details
3- notice conditional element for Member.OutstandingCharges is centered
4- change Member.OutstandingCharges to right justified
5- Save and close
6- Click on Design again for Member Details
7- notice that Member.OutstandingCharges is still centered

Re: 3rd post in this thread:

I realize now that I should be using TEXT type element rather than a TAG type element.

Please ignore this portion of this thread

The problem with the font style not being saved is confirmed and will be fixed in the next few days.

We cannot reproduce the problem with horizontal formatting. We followed the described steps in our tests and the formatting is saved correctly.

Please use the properties dialog for each individual element within the conditional element to change formatting settings.
