Word Report XML Dataset Not Showing Extended Fields

Posted on by 4
Hello,

I have only just begun writing some AL code to expand my BC knowledgebase, and I am attempting to do a very simple report extension on the Standard Sales Quote Report (1304) as practise only.

The code is as follows:

reportextension 70200 "SQReportExt" extends "Standard Sales - Quote"
{

    dataset
    {
        add(Header)
        {
            column(Transaction_Type; "Transaction Type")
            {
 
            }
        }
    }
}

When I use the "Custom Report Layouts" - I know there is the "Update Layout" option that then brings it into the Custom XML part into Word. This works OK and I have managed to get the new field into my word template.

However, as I know the Custom Report Layouts section is supposedly legacy and is being phased out, I am attempting the same thing in just the regular "Report Layouts" section. However, I cannot find any "Update Layout" function or equivalent in the page. When I export the 1304 layout here, it hasn't got the report extension I deployed.

Any assistance would be great.

FYI - for reference - I am on V24.5 (in-case there has been subsequent updates that may have changed this area of BC).

Cheers,
Tim

    Hi,

    The option is not available in v24 but has been added in v25.
     
    In version 24, you can use it with custom layout option and later can change.

    From Report Layouts. 
    Export the Report and then ReImport the report
