Report Definition column referring to Pega OOTB property instead of property in parent class

I have a report definition in class “AppointmentManager-Data-Topic” whose column source is from properties in the parent class “AppointmentManager-Data” and I have set the inheritance type to “both” on the report definition. All properties are correctly being referred except one which is “StartDate” as it would always refer to the Pega OOTB “StartDate” in the class “PegaFW-” which is of type datetime when the “StartDate” property I want the report definition to refer is of date type, the type mismatch causes a Java JDBC error .

Yes the property I want to refer to has been optimized for the child class but I am still unable to refer to it somehow. I am still new to Pega so any help would be great. Unable to provide attachments as it is for an on-going project.

@AlyssaAshleyC Can you share some more details ?

Do you have startdate property in parent class or child class ?

Whats the direct inheritance class of your child class?

Is pattern inheritance selected in your parent & class definitions ?

Can you share some screenshots (of child class & RD ) as well ?

@Byshu Hello! It turns out that the startDate property in the parent class was of different type which may have had a bearing on finding the startDate property that I wanted to find. It was solved using a data transform and not have it run on the data page using a when rule to evaluate the startDate property I needed to refer to instead of using the filter in the report definition to do the date evaluations where I encountered the errors.
