  The SubReport Toggle Item will randomly not allow you to pick a textbox.

  In the first two working screenshots you will see that the toggle item is working just fine.

  In the BROKEN TOGGLE screenshots, when attempting to rebuild the report using the PROD server Master Template it DOESNT allow you to select the same text box as the working report.

  Why is this happening?

  First 2 screenshots are showing where the sub report toggle is broken.

  Last 2 screenshots are showing the exact same report but the toggle item is working for the desired text box.

  EXPLAIN please

  If you are trying to re-create this issue,

  Step 1) add a table to your report like below.

  Step 2) Merge the 3rd row cells for the sub report.

  Step 3) Make sure that the Left most Column is not merged.

  Step 4) Attempt to set the SubReport Toggle Item to the Highlighted Textbox in the table.

  YOU WONT BE ABLE TO UNLESS YOUR DESIGNER RANDOMLY CHOOSES TO LET YOU.

  Hello,

  We have followed your steps on some machines but the issue was not observed. While we try to replicate it again on other machines, could you please confirm if the issue is observed only with the Master Reports? Also, it would be helpful if you can share a video showing the steps you perform, in detail.

  Thanks,
  
  Esha

  In order for this to work on my designer I had to randomly add / remove columns and rows until the desired textbox appeared as a toggle item option.
