Greetings to all of you.

We have BC SaaS ( v20 ). I have download on my enviroment , an external app through AppSource.

This app , includes some reports ( object id range 52061000-52061999).

Can i extend , through a reportextension , those reports, so that i can extend their dataset?

I tried doing that through VSc , but i get the error " The target Repor for the extension object is not found" ( Basically it's like the system can't find any external reports, only the base ones).

Thank you in advance for your time.

With respect,

Antonis.

You can, but you need to take a dependency on their app in your app.

see dependencies in the app.json: JSON Files - Business Central | Microsoft Docs

Hi,

Go to the extension management and then go to app which you have installed. And then click on the Is installed field value to get the app information. And then refer the below screenshot pick those data from that app and add into your app.json file as dependency section.

Format for adding dependencies.

"dependencies": [

{

"id": "<appid>" // which will be getting from your app information.,

"publisher": "<Publisher Name>",

"name": "<name of the app file>",

"version": "<Version No of the app>"

}

}

If my answer was helpful to you, please verify it so that other users know it worked. Thank you very much
