Improved Report Composer Template
First, the <ValueConditionChecker> element in Report Composer template can be used for conditional checking. Starting from version 11.1, instead of inputting a fixed value when checking you can make use of wild character like * and ?. This allows you to do things like - "When certain property (e.g. name) of a model element begins with certain character (e.g. "UI"), show it in the report"

Besides, you can relate model elements with the Reference feature. In version 11.1, Report Composer Template allows you to trace the model elements that reference a given model element, with the use of <HasMetaModelPropertyChecker property="modelElementReferencedBys" flag="true"> and <ForEach property="modelElementReferencedBys">.
