Merge - Same value printed again on next page when cell spans page boundary

Hello,

I am experiencing an issue with the ProcessingDuplicates = Merge property
when a merged cell spans a page boundary.

[Problem Description]
When a merged cell is split across two pages, the same value is printed
again from the beginning on the next page instead of showing empty or
continuing from where it was cut.

[Current Settings]
- ProcessingDuplicates = Merge (on Text component)
- CanBreak = false (on DataBand)
- PrintOnAllPages = false (on GroupHeaderBand)
- KeepGroupHeaderTogether = false (on GroupHeaderBand)

[Expected Behavior]
When a merged cell spans a page boundary:
- Next page should either show empty for the already-printed value
- OR continue printing from where it was cut off

[Actual Behavior]
- The merged cell value is printed again from the beginning on the next page
- This causes duplicate data output

[What I have tried]
- ProcessingDuplicates = GlobalMerge → same issue
- CanBreak = false → group is too long to fit on one page
- PrintOnAllPages = false → no effect on the duplicate issue
- KeepGroupHeaderTogether = false → no effect

[Environment]
- Stimulsoft Reports latest version
- .NET WinForms application

Is there any property, script, or workaround to prevent
the duplicate output on the next page?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello,

Please try to use the "Merge based on Value and Tag" option. The sample in the attachment.

Thank you.
