Word layout reports add XML fields not coded

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 599

Just a month ago, if I opened a word layout report for any of the reports, for example, customer statement, or vendor remittance advice, I am able to add open the developer tab, XML mapping pane. Then, I can insert rich text or plain text field, and the field is coded, so that it will populate the correct record. However, as of August 2026, when I insert fields, they are not coded. Running the report in Business Central leads to the field to not be coded at all, and instead, showing the name of the field incorrectly. For example, due date should populate 2026-08-26, and yet, it just populates “due date”. In the word report, when I hover over the other existing fields, they show coding above the field, e.g. #Nav: /BssiDimenstionValue/Customer. However, on the generated report, it just says due date. I have tried this now in multiple environments, updated them to date, updated browsers, and still this issue happens. Is this happening for anyone else? What is the fix? Is this a Microsoft bug?
