Is it possible in Business Central, using .RDL report layouts and AL coding, to create a sub-report that will drill to the detail of the main report?

I can create main reports using RDL layouts, and code the source in AL, but it appears Report Builder expects any sub-report to be on a report server.

Just wondering how Microsoft plans to allow programmers to eventually drill down to detail from a main RDL report in this space.

    Yes, you cannot drilldown between reports in D365BC. The sub report must be external.

    Plans for drilldown: Power BI? :-)

    Okay, thanks.

    Power BI doesn't help because I want to use native RDL's, as I do with the main reports I've written, and have them run as extensions to D365BC incorporated into the product.

    I guess this just cannot work like SSRS since we cannot "see" the server to reference for sub-reports.

    I'm also wondering if it is possible to dynamically change page field captions with D365-BC?

    We have a report that is displayed on a page, but the columns of the report need to be dynamically captioned with values a user can enter in another table.
    I'm just wondering if this is possible, and if so how to accomplish it.
    Is there any sample code of this available?
