How to add a dynamically created print setting (X++) without overwriting the print settings from the print management form?

Hello everybody,

I am stuck on one last thing, where I'd appreciate your help.
I have the requirement to print, based on a checkbox value, an additional report-design that prints with the sales invoice.

So it should always be the sales invoice report (the print management settings) + conditionally an additional design.

I've added this method loadAdditionalPrintSetting to the SalesInvoiceController method:

4162.pic1.png

This method is called within the runPrintMgmt method of the SalesInvoiceController class right after this line:
3513.pic2.png

If I run this, it only prints my new design but ignores the print management settings. Why is it throwing away the previously loaded print settings? How to prevent this?

Thank you very much for your help in advance.

Solved it myself! In the method PrintMgmtReportRun.loadSettingDetail() the object printSetting is instantinated again, and thus, the old settings were overwritten, when I called _formLetterReport.parmReportRun().loadSettingDetail()., as can be seen here (marked orange):

public void loadSettingDetail(PrintMgmtPrintSettingDetail _settingDetail, str _documentKeyValue = '')
{
    printSetting = new PrintMgmtPrintSetting();
    printSetting.addPrintDetail(_settingDetail);
    documentKeyValue = _documentKeyValue;
    this.reset();
}

So what I did was create a parm method in the PrintMgmtReportRun class, which returns the printSetting object. I now use this object to add my new print setting dynamically during runtime. The method loadAdditionalPrintSetting() now has this snipped of code at the end instead of _loadLetterReport.parmReportRun().loadSettingDetail(printSettingDetail, ''):

    printSetting = _formLetterReport.parmReportRun().parmPrintMgmtPrintSetting();
    printSetting.addPrintDetail(printSettingDetail);
    _formLetterReport.parmReportRun().reset();

I hope this helps somebody out there! :) I wish you all a good night.
