[ACKED] macro expansion in Generate Report:report name

tennenrishin

When I run the following process, the first report (r1) does not get generated at all. However, if I manually substitute the macro values, it works as expected. Is this a bug, or do I misunderstand the way macros work?

Hm, looks like a very strange bug. Can you please submit it at bugs.rapid-i.com, so it does not get lost?

Best, Marius

Any idea whether there has been any progress on this? I think I remember submitting the bug at the time, but I'm not experienced with Bugzilla and I have trouble tracking the bug down. Could it be the same bug as this one?:

It's really giving me a hard time :`-(
