I solved that with the following solution:
1. Added report group to the report
2. Added new variable with type of string (var_name)
3. On the variable expression property of the variable,
$V{var_name} == null || ${var_name} == ""
? "1"
: ${var_name} + ", 1"
4. Set the reset type of your variable to **Report** and its reset group to the report group you created at step 1
5. Then on your report layout, edit the text field expression of your id, color group and description to the following
$V{var_name} == "1"
? ${field_name}
: ""
