Hi,

I want to add a custom function in ER.(Get Current User)

Like in the docs:

https://docs.microsoft.com/pl-pl/dynamics365/fin-ops-core/dev-itpro/analytics/general-electronic-reporting-formulas-list-extension?toc=/dynamics365/commerce/toc.json

But now the class ERExpressionString don't exist, we have a class ERExpressionStringBase but this class is internal.

I've tried add a interface ERIExpressionString but my function is not visible in ER.

Is function extension are not possible now?

Hi Krychul,

Can you elaborate?

Is there a standard GER config that you are using for this purpose?

If you define destination for generated report on "Electronic reporting jobs", the user who run the report will be published there as "Created by"

For example, standard GER config will be stored on "Electronic reporting jobs" and they will show who create this file.

Do you want to have user id as field in the report that you have generated? If yes, you can try to add 'User input parameter' on you custom config model mapping and connect this field your report.

Hi Krychul,

Extending the default ER functions seems interesting, although for you problem probably there is already an easier way to get current user.

Anyways what I would do is to take a look at other default functions because it seems the documentation is outdated. For example the class "ERExpressionGetCurrentCompany"

I need to display User Id on my report. The client does not want the parameter because we can choose another user and it should be the one who started the report. The parameter will be added to the report if no other method is found.

I look on this method. method ERExpressionGetCurrentCompany extends ERExpressionStringBase .ERExpressionStringBase is internal. I've tried to implement a interface ERIExpressionString but function didn't show on the list in ER.
