Data Sources Present on Report not carrying over when attempting to create new report from the New menu under File menu

[BDubs]

Hello,

I recently updated to the latest version of stimulsoft's Stimulsoft.Reports.Web nuget package and am now seeing an issue with data sources that are present when I open a report not being present when trying to create a new report from the file menu.
After doing some research this issue first appeared in version 2020.3.1 for me.

In this image you can see the data sources present on my report in the report designer.

The attachment datasources.PNG is no longer available

This image shows the data sources from the same report are not present when attempting to make a new report from the file menu.

Hello,

Could you explain your issue in more detail?
How do you rovide data to the report?

Thank you.

Sure, we let our users define what business objects they want as data sources before they even interact with the stiWebDesigner, when a user has picked a business object our system goes and gets the underlying dataset for it and we register it for the report(StiReport.RegData) and then we synchronize the dictionary of the report.

Code: Select all

            rpt.RegData(dsRepotingData);

            rpt.Dictionary.Synchronize();

            _stiWebDesigner.Report = rpt;

The issue is when a user attempts to create new report from designer the datasources we added disappear.

Hello,

Please check the NewReport option in the designer Options.

Thank you.

I have checked the options and it is set to merge dictionary and it is not working.
