Report Text bug?

Nicholas_White

Hello,

 

I am building out an Excel file from a Workflow. I'm putting in some text using the Report Text Tool at the top of the report. For the purpose of this post, I've thrown in some nonsensical numbers and letters to illustrate the problem.

 

In the screengrab below, you can see how I set up the Report Text Tool.

And when I see the rendered output, it looks like this:

Issues:

 

1. The first line is Middle Aligned.

2. The information in the first line is truncated. My original text is 123456789ABCD; the rendered text is 12345678.

3. The second line is Aligned Right.

4. The information in the second line is truncated. My original text is ABCDEFGHIJKL; the rendered text is ABCDEFG.

5. The third line is Aligned Right.

 

Are there better ways to accomplish what I'm trying to achieve? Are my expectations of the Report Text Tool too lofty? Am I doing it wrong?

 

Thanks,

 

Nick

Yes, please share the workflow. I couldn't replicate the bug either.
