Hi experts,
In Business Central cloud, our customer has a Word layout in report 1306.
Is it possible to copy this layout into a new Word file that can be used for report 1303?
Hope you can help.

As mentioned by several other experts, the answer is no.
Because the Report Objects are different, it is not recommended to reuse layout files, which may cause runtime errors.
You should modify the layout of 1303 according to the report of 1306

Thanks.

KasparsSemjonovs is correct, you can't use it directly, but you can copy certain elements.

Hello,

It can be a yes or no answer.

You can't add directly to 'Custom Report Layouts' and assign it immediately.

You need to ensure all the report field name matches.

You can copy the structure (the whole WORD file), but all the XML mapping fields have to be re-entered, otherwise it will give an error, because it contains reference to other report.
