Bind option in report. How to change setting in Query Designer?

Question

Hello,
Is there any way of changing the 'Bind display of textx/attributes in data provider result and in value help' in the portal. We can change this option from the report by right clicking on the characteristic -> Properties -> Characteristic -> Selecting the 'Advanced' tab. But we want to make a permanent change to this option from the query designer so that the users would not have to change it every time they run the report. Can anyone point to where I can make that change in the query designer or anywhere else if that works?
There is a characteristic say 'XYZ'. It has a attribute 'ATTR'. We want to display the attribute alone in the column of the query. We are able to do so by bringing the characteristic 'XYZ' and dragging and dropping the attribute 'ATTR' under it. We then change the display options to make the characteristic as 'No dispaly'. But this affects not just the characteristic in the columns, but also in the Navigational blocks. So the users are not able to see any values while filtering. One way to fix this is to uncheck the 'Bind display of textx/attributes in data provider result and in value help' option after the report is executed which is an end user task. But we want to find out a way of changing this from the query designer, so that the users won't need to carry out his activity every time they run the report.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

<p>There are a few ways that you can achieve this. If your SQL Queries have their filters modified (ie. WHERE clause) then this can be easily solved by adding report parameters to the Report filter. Search the in-product help for "Record Filter" and you should get a number of helpful resources returned.</p><p>Additionally, you can pass in java.sql.ResultSet objects with a populated recordset of the data you want to show in the report. We don&#39;t currently provide any tools to assist the creation of the code stubs for thick-client applications (like we do for JSP pages) however you can download a collection of thick-client sample code from here:</p><p><a href="http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/FilesAndUpdates/crxi_r2_jrc_desktop_samples.zip">http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/FilesAndUpdates/crxi_r2_jrc_desktop_samples.zip</a> </p><p>As I mentioned, this sample contains a collection of code snippets. The one in particular you will be interested in is titled "JRCResultsetDatasource". Hopefully, this will provide you with a few options. </p><p>Regards,<br />Sean Johnson (CR4E Product Manager) </p>
