Filter on table-data entries via expanding-reporter
I am currently trying to report on row I entered in a table-data. With this I am quite succesful using the code:
{noformat}
{report-table}
{expanding-reporter:data:communication|as=table}
{local-reporter:@self}
{local-reporter}
{expanding-reporter}
{report-header}
A header
{report-header}
{report-column:title=Finding}{report-info:expanded:table > data:findingscommunication}{report-column}
{report-empty}{report-empty}
{report-table}
{noformat}
However I do not want show any report, i.e. who anything written in the report-empty macro if none of the findingscommunication has any entry. Using the {text-filter:data:findingscommunication|required=true} filter outside the local-reporter, but inside the expanding-reporter only prevents the report from being shown, if no rows are open in the table-data.
This is indeed fine, but I want a filter, that does not show anything even if multiple empty rows in the {table-data:name=communications} are open.
Advice at this stage is greatly appreciated,
Robert

Inappropriate?Hi Robert,
I'm not quite sure under what circumstances you want something shown and/or what you want it to display. Could you perhaps provide a couple of examples of what you want it to look like with and without data in 'findingscommunication'?1 Comment

Hi David,
since I am using a scaffold template I cannot paste you asnippet of wiki markup. However I shall try to explain best verbally only.
Given a table-data with initialRows=5 and no entries, this table data can, but does not need to filled with data by the user.
So I may be, that all rows, which in the tabel-data are named 'findingscommunication' contain text data. In this case I want a certain report-header to show up along with the report-table.
In the other extreme, it may be the case, that the user does not enter any data in the rows of the table-data.
If the user does not delete the initial rows presented to him, the report on the rows findingscommunication is not empty, because there are rows existing in the table-data with the respective name, even though they are empty.
So in total I want the report to by an empty report, when table-data:name=communcation does not contain any entries in its rows, even though many rows might exist.
Hope that helps.
Thank you so much for your time David! -
Inappropriate?Sorry David,
but I just realised that the code above does exactly what I wanted. I had a typo just somewhere in a word 'finding'.
I hope I leave you with some idea, of what I wanted and why the makrup above works nicely.
Best,
Robert
I’m happy
