Hi Support,

I am creating a Telerik report and in this report, I am using a few sub reports for some parts of this report. In one portion of the reports I need to display multiple items (detail with description) and it should be rendered in two columns. To render the content into 2 columns I used the Column Count property and with this, it works fine if I am running the subreport independently. But if I am using this subreport in the main report then this ColumnCount feature is not working so please let me know how I can render a subreport content into 2 columns.  
Please see the screenshot.  
Sample image is the one we are trying to achieve in output . 
Report design is the one we have designed for our work. When we run it independently it works but when we add it as a sub report to a main report it fails. 
Sample Sub report - the one working when we try it independently.

Hello Siva,

I noticed that you posted the same problem in a ticket thread but in order to help other users in the future, I will also share the general solution to this issue here.

The multi-column functionality not working when used within a subreport is a known limitation, please refer to the Multi-Column functionality not working in Subreports - Telerik Reporting KB article for more details on the topic and a workaround for the problem.

Besides the workaround mentioned in that article, you may also try to render the reports in a report book instead of using the subreport item in order to avoid this limitation - Report Book Explained - Telerik Reporting.

I hope that the suggested workarounds will help.
