I think I know the answer to this question already but I am going to ask anyway
I have a BI Publisher report that is working fine. The problem is that I have part of the report that is including an attachment (media object) from the JD Edwards record. I am having a problem 'keeping' the formatting the user has done to the media object/attachment in JDE. When I generate the BI publisher report/XML file any formatting is stripped out of the XML and I lose the formatting that is done within the media object. So my question is this - Is there a way to maintain or carry forward the formatting into the XML file that is generated? I know that I can format the template using the RTF template but I need to format dynamically 'as was done within JDE attachment.
I have thought of several ideas such as parsing out media object into individual lines and outputting but the problem is that the formatting may even be within the line, for example bolding a specific piece of text such as work order number or supplier number.
I am posting here as I could not see anything from web searches so I thought I would ask here. Thank you!
