The ‘Subreport’ option ([reportmill.com/support/Subreports.pdf](http://www.reportmill.com/support/Subreports.pdf)) appears to be missing from the ‘Add Shapes’ menu in the report designer. Is this intentional?

Thanks.

Ignition uses Reportmill 9 which, unfortunately does not support subreports. Subreports became available in Reportmill 12.
