Hello !  
I am trying to pass a dataset in a report using the Reporting Module from perspective.

My dataset is a parameter from a view that I “send” to the report using : system.report.executeAndDistribute(…).

My issue is in the reporting module : in the “design” tab, I can’t find a way to access to the columns of my dataset. I want to choose some of the columns to put them in a Table.

In the default value of the dataset parameters I put a dataset tag similar to the dataset that will be sent at the report execution, and this is what the report designer shows me in the key browser :

PS : I know that the system.report.executeAndDistribute() function works as I am able to use other parameters sent with the dataset (but only strings or integers)

Thank you for your help
