Report Extension Layout not populating from Base Report

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member

Hello Experts,

As you know that Microsoft has introduced Report Extension in D365 BC 2021 wave 1 (BC 18).

For Example - I need to add one more column "Salesperson Code" in Report ID 119 (Customer - Sales List), hence i have added "Salesperson Code" through "Report Extension". Also added the RDLC Layout Property.

Below screenshot for your reference-

But when i compile my Report Extension my RDLC Layout is generated and when i am opening the layout ExtendCustomerSalesList.rdl in report builder it is showing as blank Layout.

Ideally it should bring the default layout of Report ID 119 (Customer - Sales List) and developer can add/modify the default layout through Report Extension.

Just want to confirm whether this is expected behavior or something i missed in my report extension?

Thanks in Advance.

    This is the expected behavior. You have to manually download RDL / Word layout and add it to your report extension. 

    The rationale behind this is that you might want to add a complete different RDL / Word layout and also there are private IP considerations. 

    In shorts: this is a not implemented feature. You might create an IDEA in ideas site about that Ideas (dynamics.com)
