I am trying to create a report in Jaspersoft Studio 6.15. and I hit a wall that I can't seem to break.
The thing is I need to align my Static and Text fields depending on Stretch/NoStretch of the previous one.
In my report I want to add few text fields along with their (static text)labels aligned horizontally like
ID : $F{ID}
Name: $F{Name}
Address: $F{Address}
But I'm unable to align them. This is what I tried
Position Type: float (for all static text and fields)
Stretch Type: no stretch (for all static text and fields)
Stretch With Overflow: True (for all dynamic text fields)
The image shows what I get and what I want. Moreover, my text field's content is dynamic i.e. content size could vary.
This is what I get: [![This is what I get][1]][1]
This is what it should be: [![This is what it should be][2]][2]
I've read many forums but could not find a solution, please suggest.
Thanks
EDIT:
Now I am getting this:

Nest each static and text field pair into a frame element:
<frame>
<reportElement ... positionType="Float"/>
<staticText>
...
</staticText>
<textField isStretchWithOverflow="true">
...
</textField>
</frame>
<frame>
...
</frame>
...
If the elements are to be included in the detail section, you can also create a separate band for each pair:
<detail>
<band>
<staticText>
...
</staticText>
<textField isStretchWithOverflow="true">
...
</textField>
</band>
<band>
...
</band>
...
</detail>
