Interesting Problem/Bug with Logos in the page header

Scenario:

I have a report with a logo in the page header.

This report has 2 parameters: 1) Date 2) Boolean to Show/Hide detail.

When I put in the date and show the report, everything is fine. If I then change the boolean parameter to show or hide the detail, the logo file cannot be found (Displays a red X)

If I export the report like this, the red X is rendered in the export. The logo is not there.

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Anyone know how to resolve it?

Thanks!

This is a known bug. The fix will be included in the next release.

Inter-depending parameters

Hello all,
If I want to create a report where there're 3 parameters A, B, C.
While the list of displayed items of A depends on selected value on B & C.
list of displayed items of B depends on selected value on A.
list of displayed items of C depends on selected value on A also.
Is this possible?Sounds to me like you've got a circular dependancy.
If parameters B + C were governed from the selection in the A parameter then fair enough.
If the A parameter were governed from the selection in the B & C parameters then it would also be fair enough.
From what I can gather, you're suggesting that A is governed by B & C but then B & C is also then governed by A. This constanting updating of parameter lists may result in a report never actually getting run as the dependancy is cyclic.
I'd have a re-think about the logic involved and see if this is a clear picture of the situation as i'm a little confused.
