3703554 - Text alignment limitations for Non-Aggregated List table widgets in the Story Designer

Text alignment buttons do not work under the Styling menu for Non-Aggregated List table widgets in Story Reports, the text does not get aligned and the setting does not change.

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.  

1. Create a Non-Aggregated List table in Story Reporting.
2. Add columns to the table.
3. Test one of the scenarios listed in the Resolution section.
4. Observe that text alignment is not possible for some scenarios.

Text alignment is only supported for a few scenarios when using Non-Aggregated List table widgets.

For Non-Aggregated List table widgets, text alignment is only possible for the under scenarios:

SCENARIO 1: The entire header row is selected.

SCENARIO 2: : A singular header is selected.


SCENARIO 3: All non-header cells are selected. To do so, first click a singular header by double clicking it, then the cell under it. This way the selection will contain all cells.

Text alignment is not supported for the following scenarios:

SCENARIO 4: A singular non-header cell is selected.

SCENARIO 5: A header and all column cells under it are selected together.

SCENARIO 6:  Two or more headers are selected, but not the whole header row.

SCENARIO 7: Two or more non-header cells are selected, but not all non-header cells as seen in scenario 3.

SCENARIO 8: All headers and fields are selected

For Cross-tab table widgets all scenarios are supported.
