How to expand frames dynamically in JasperReports?

Question

frame
  text field: short | text field: very long text causing linebreak
frame
  other elements

How do I have to configure jasper reports so that the long text field moves all subsequent frames and elements down? (ie: causes a resize of the frames dynamically)?

Solution: make the text fields float; stretch relative to tallest object; overflow and make the surrounding frames float; no stretch.

This is very counter-intuitive that an expanding frame will have to be set to no stretch in order to expand, and move any subsequent elements down accordingly.

What if the frames are side by side? – Maxrunner Aug 23 '18 at 17:08

stretch relative to tallest object is deprecated in newer versions – Jorge.V Sep 08 '20 at 17:56
