----------------------------------------

Hi Nicolas,

That's indeed another option that we would then need to document. But I still wonder when end users will need these fields in reports...
Maybe we could even remove them altogether (all technical field types) but could have them with a (I guess rarely used) property (or maybe a property by type)?

> This is a new implementation of Birt. It allows the creation of "report masters" by the developer, which will in turn let the user create its own reports. Data connection of report is fully generated by OFBiz based on report master. Design is user made.
> Filtering is made via content forms stored in the database ("FORM_COMBINED") data_resource.
> The patch should be available in a few days.
> *Credits:* this feature has been designed by Nicolas Malin, Pierre Gaudin and François Wurmser. It has been implemented by François Wurmser as a Neogia addon and ported by Jacques Le Roux to a custom OFBiz R13 version and then to the OFBiz trunk with simple changes in the framework where it was secured using OWASP security policies.
> *Note:* the BIRT_REPORT_BUILDER_USAGE_POLICY still needs to be completed. For now it's bypassed on "FLEXIBLE_REPORT" contentTypeId, a FIXME exists in Java code
