Modern Reporting PDF Export Duplicates Subreports Across All Parent Projects

Issue/Introduction

When exporting/printing a report to PDF, child records (subprojects) are duplicated and aggregated across all parent projects instead of being scoped to their own parent.

Steps To Reproduce:

• Create/associate subprojects under multiple parent projects, e.g.
  Project A > Subprojects a1, a2
  Project B > Subprojects b1, b2, b3
  
  Open the Data Provider preview for the report and confirm it correctly groups/limits subprojects to their respective parent project.
  
  
• Export/print the same report to PDF.
  
  
• Review the exported PDF output for each project section.

Expected: Each project should display only its own child subproject records.

• Project A displays a1, a2
• Project B displays b1, b2, b3

Actual: The PDF export aggregates all child records across all parent records, duplicating subreports under every parent.

• Project A displays a1, a2, b1, b2, b3
• Project B displays a1, a2, b1, b2, b3

 

Environment

16.4.2

Cause

DE209925

Data Provider preview correctly scopes subprojects to parent, but the PDF export/print rendering path does not apply the same parent-child scoping,
causing all child subreport records to aggregate across every parent record.
