We are using Birt 2.5

I have a report with tables nested inside of a main table. For the nested tables, I would like to use the column index of the parent table column that the table is nested in as part of a filter for the nested table. Is there a way to easily get the parent column index for use in a nested table filter?

Thanks

You could always check it against the container cellid like:

var mytable =reportContext.getDesignHandle().findElement("innertable");
mytable.getContainer().getID();

equals

95

Note that the inner table is named and it is contained in cell id 95 of
the outer table.
