Posted on by Samantha73 3,378

Hi All

Is there a way to sue report extensions to change the defaults on a standard report - set boolean to true on request page? Looking at the code for report extensions below trigger is not available for extensions:

Thanks

    I don't think you can change the request page in a report extention.

    The best approach will be to create a copy of the report and modify that.

    Then you can use the event substituting report to have your custom report printed instead of the standard report.

    Hi, Sorry I didn't test it in detail, if the global variable in the standard report is a protected variable, you might be able to access it in the report extension.

    Or you can change your mind. Hide this value on the Request Page and assign this value to True in the Report's Trigger.

    Hope this can give you some hints 

    Thanks.
