I am using BIRT 2.2.1 Augus 31 build. You can type in an expression in the expression builder that uses the ReportContext. Since this is possible, please provide ReportContext as an item that I can select in the Expression Builder.

We need a detailed scope for in which context the "reportContext" variable is usable, as well as the "this" variable.
Comment 2 Zhiqiang Qian CLA 2007-11-08 03:08:41 EST 
Once we add "reportContext" or "this" in expression builder, we will also need intelli-sense support.

This actually depends on Model/Engine to provide available argument info for each scriptable property.
