I want to add fields to the reports and use them in python functions and do some coding inside the reports.

I am using version 6.0.3 of OpenERP, I keep getting an empty field list.

This is what the "add field" command on the addon should look like:

I am using the "OpenERP Report Designer" addon for OpenOffice / LibreOffice. The "Add a field" command in the OpenOffice addon does not work for me. It shows an empty field list. I tried in 6.0.3 on a linux and a windows server and also 6.0.2 on a windows server. I believe all other commands of the report designer do work.

Is there a way to make it work?

(Also see the other question how to find out the field names by browsing the sourcecode)

i encountered this same problem in my windows v6.0.3 installation and found that you need to Add Loop FIRST before you can Add Field.
