How to stretch text field on multiple pages in Jasper Reports?

Scenario: I have a jasper report with multiple text fields inside a detail band. Each text field has the properties:

The details band has the property:

Current Result: When one of the text fields is taller than the page and extends to a next page, all other text fields stretch to the end of the page.

Problem: I want all text fields to be able to stretch on the next page as well. If I use the property 'Print When Detail Overflows: True' then this causes the text fields to be 'reprinted' with data duplicated. That is not my intention. I want to be able to stretch the text field to more than one page.

Thank you!

I also have same problem and after playing whole day did not figure out anything :-(. My workaround was to set whole band to "Prevent" split type. It is not solution. Only trying to not have text fields 'reprinted' with data duplicated.

You can try setting to the field's Stretch Type to Relative to Band Height. If that didn't work, just play with those properties. I believe you can accomplish it by playing with the properties you mentioned.
