SYMPTOM(s):
Changes to the format of a field in Data Dictionary are not reflected in Report Builder
Field in the Report Builder report still has the old format
FACT(s) (Environment):
Field has been added to a report
Format of the field has subsequently been changed in Data Dictionary
Report Builder
Progress 8.x
Progress 9.x
Windows
CAUSE:
Report Builder stores field format information in the report definition. Once a field has been added to a report, its format is independent from the definition found in Data Dictionary.
Therefore a change to the format in Data Dictionary will not result in an automatic update to the same field used in a Report Builder report.
FIX:
Edit the format of the field in the report so that it matches the Data Dictionary definition and re-save.
This will need to be done in all the reports where the changed fields are involved.
