How do I set up conditional formatting on a watermark?
I only want the watermark to display when a field value = "Official" (This will place a "Official Copy" watermark on the report. )
The report is ignoring the conditional formatting rule and inserting the watermark.

Watermarks are part of report's page settings and cannot use data fields directly as the data is not available at the time of the paging - Report Life Cycle.
You can use PageExec data function which will evaluate the aggregate function in the context of the physical page, for example:
= IIf(PageExec('textBox1', First(Fields.Column1)) = 'Official', 'Official Copy', '')Regards,

The recommendation by Katia does not work.
HOW can we use a field for a conditional Watermark? This is a high-priority question as it is a core part of any reporting system in the real world.
Hi Greg,
As already explained in the ticket you opened on the same issue, you need to use a Report Parameter. Here is the summary of my reply that may be beneficial for other Telerik Reporting users as well:
I suggest using a Report Parameter for setting the Expression for the Text of the Watermark. The reason is that the fields are not available in the Report PageSettings in run-time as the Report doesn't have a parent data item - see Data Items Overview for more details.
You may set the DataSource that contains the corresponding field to the Report Parameter AvailableValues.
