Hi, my data source for my report contains a business object with two field value : StatusMessage and StatusColour.

I can set the value for a Text field on the report to show the StatusMessage, but how can I set the font colour to show using the value of StatusColour?

Thanks

Hello,

You can try to use conditions to change the colour of the font.
Please check the following link to our documentation:

Thank you.

Hi, thanks I have used the conditions to change a font colour to Red before, but in this case I want to change the font colour to the value specified in the field StatusColour from the business object.

Hello,

You can use the Brush Expression property.

Thank you.

Hi, Thanks for that.

When I try this on mine if I set the Text Brush to {EstimateStatistics.StatusColor} the font changes colour as expected, but if I set the Brush to {EstimateStatistics.StatusColor} the background doesn't change - any reason for that?

Also, in the Edit Expression screen the + signs on the data on the right hand side don't appear to do anything so I can't select from a data source/business object.

Hello,

Please send us a sample report with test data that reproduces the issue for analysis.

Thank you.
