Hi, I'm trying to create a report with multiple collapsible groups but can't figure out how to hide the details when the parent group is collapsed. For example, the report could look like this:
Group 1 Header
Group 2 Header
Details
Using the Toggle Visibility Action, if I set the target of Group 1 Header to Group 2 Header, and Group 2 Header to Details, I'm able to expand the Group 1 Header, and Group 2 Header correctly. However, collapsing the Group 1 Header after expanding both sections only hides the Group 2 Header and leaves the Details section visible.
I've tried setting the targets for Group 1 Header to both Group 2 Header and Details, but that seems to break the expanding functionality as Group 2 Header is never shown when you expand Group 1 - you just see the Details section as if Group 2 isn't there.
Attached is an illustration of the issue.
Is there a way to accomplish this functionality? I'm currently using Telerik Reporting Q2 2013 (7.1.13.612).
Group 1 Header
Group 2 Header

I ran into the same problem when I was creating an ad-hoc report designer for users. We never found a way around it and had to instruct the users to close all sub groups before closing the parent group if they wanted the details to vanish as well. I am very dissatisfied with the way it behaves. There may be a way to handle it using Telerik, but I could not find it after a day of searching. I tried all the same things you mentioned.
I hope someone is able to help you, as they will be helping me, too!

Hello,
This issue can happen when you set the Toggle Visibility action to target the Group Header Section instead of the group itself.
To resolve this issue set the Toggle Visibility action target to a specific group in the report. You can see the groups and their names in the Group Explorer window.
We created a sample report demonstrating the above approach. Please find the sample report definition in the attached file.

After upgrading to the latest Telerik Reporting, I've discovered that when I toggle visibility of the detail section, it now expands the detail for all groups, and not just the one group. I'm hoping I don't have to update 100+ reports and add another group to simulate detail... Thanks!
