Table in Table PageBreak [message #549911]

Hi guys,

I have the following situation with a simple Table-in-Table scenario when creating a PDF with Birt 2.5.0:
In case of a large number of rows in the sub-table, which do not fit on one page, a page break is inserted before the sub-table. PageBreakInterval is set to 0 on both tables due to varying row heights.

Is there any way to avoid this behavior, so that the sub-table simply continues on the current page with the page break occuring after a couple of rows of the sub-table.

After playing around with the page break settings for a couple of hours, I hope you can help me out...
Thanks,
Peter

While I was working on a sample to add to my post I stumbled over the solution. If you take a look at the row element that contains the table, the settings 'Page Break Before' and 'Page Break After' are set to 'Auto : Inherited'.

If you change these values to 'Avoid' one would assume that this might solve the issue but the trick is to set it back to 'Auto' and things are finally rendered as intended.

Hi,
I know a lot of time has passed since your posting, but i just wanted to say that this is a solution for who's looking for a "subreport" style of report. For me, a report like Order->OrderDetails can be done with nested tables, however if the "OrderDetails" table is big enough to ocupy an entire sheet, after Orders table prints a record a page break is done and the orderdetails content appears on the next page. the solution for me was providing the row that contains the child table (orderdetails) with the attribute pageBreakInside=Auto (and not Auto:Inherited).
Hope this will save hours of search nextime Wink
