Hi All;
Can anyoine point me to some docs and/or samples for making cascading
parameters work? I'm using BIRT 2.0 M2 and can see UI features in the
designer, but they are not working as I would expect and I don;t know if
it's because I'm using them wrong or if the functionality isn't complete
in the M2 release.

The steps I've taken are roughly:
* Right click on report parms and select "New Cascading Parameter"
* I can create the nested parameters, but expected the value from the
first query to be used as the input value to the 2nd parameter's data set
query.
* The designer UI seems to overwrite the data set source for the first
paramter with the one I specify for the second.
* Does this mean that both parameters must use the same data set source?

Any help appreciated.

Pete,

The current functionallity requires that the Cascaded parameter set come
from the same Data Set.

Ouch - I was afraid you might say that... Is this recognized as a serious
limitation? In our case, it means that some of the parameter control data
sets will be too large and it may not give us the function we need.
Bugzilla? Thanks for the quick response - it gives me something to work
with.

Pete,

I didnt mean to cause pain :>
I dont know if something is logged in Bugzilla yet.
If not go ahead. As work around, can you use a driver report with
Hyperlinks?
