I'm using MicroStation CONNECT Update 14.2.
This question is about the use of TextTable seeds. I have a TextTable seed, which I specify when creating a Report...
In this example, I've chosen TextTable seed Brown Table. The TextTable is created with some residual rows from that seed. The last row has the text from the last row of the seed formatted as the Footer row. MicroStation Help tells us: A table seed can contain properties, formatting, and style settings that are inherited by the table. But in this case it's bringing text from the seed as well as the formatting. Is that the way it's supposed to work?
Here's the DGN file and DGNLib that contains the TextTable seed. The DGN file includes the Item Type definition and instance data used by the Report, which is also defined in the DGN file.
TextTable Seed Evidence.zip
Will need to confirm with developer if Works As Designed , but if you open your *.dgnlib and the Model 'Brown_Table (Your Table Seed) , select the Table and in the Properties dialog, apply the Text Styles that you have defined for the rows, then remove the Text from the Table, does this provide the required result ?

Whether or not it WAD, it doesn't work as documented.

Hi Jon,
Thank you for your help finding this issue. Seed table is a template. For some users, they fill fixed texts in seed tables, like some footer
words, they don't want to fill it every time after table is created, so we need to keep them. You can look at this picture as an example.
We will correct the help documentation on this topic.
Thank you so much!
Regards,
Colin
