Use 1 Report to display multipple layouts

Hi!

I wrote Report extension for my "Standard Sales - Order Conf." Report.

Now, i want to use this report dataset to display its data in multiple report layouts.

For this cause, im using "rendering" section to add different layouts:

[In Report Extention]

rendering

{

layout("My Sales Order Confirmation")

{

Type = RDLC;

LayoutFile = 'My Sales Order Confirmation.rdl';

}

layout("My Sales Order Confirmation Email Text")

{

Type = Word;

LayoutFile = 'My Sales Order Confirmation Email Text.docx';

}

layout("My Sales Draft Invoice")

{

Type = RDLC;

LayoutFile = 'My Sales Draft Invoice (for Sales Order).rdl';

}

No i can open my "Sales Order" record on list page and press "Print Confirmation...", where i would be able to select layout. That works.

Now, i want to create another button, so i could open a report right with needed layout, which should be for instance "My Sales Draft Invoice" (from code above). And this is where struggle begins.

I created a page extension and added a button, but i cant set filter on which layout to display. Can you help me with this?

One method i found is to manually upload layout to "Custom Report Layouts" and write this code on the button:

pageextension 50350 SalesOrderListReportExt extends "Sales Order List"

{

actions

{

addfirst(reporting)

{

action(DraftInvoice)

{

Caption = 'Draft Invoice';

ApplicationArea = All;

trigger OnAction()

var

ReportLayoutSelection: Record "Report Layout Selection";

Layout: Record "Custom Report Layout";

DraftInvoiceLayoutCode: Code[40];

SalesHeader: Record "Sales Header";

begin

SalesHeader.Reset();

CurrPage.SetSelectionFilter(SalesHeader);

DraftInvoiceLayoutCode := '1305-000008';

ReportLayoutSelection.SetTempLayoutSelected(DraftInvoiceLayoutCode);

Report.Run(Report::"Standard Sales - Order Conf.", true, true, SalesHeader);

end;

}

addfirst(Category_Category8)

{

actionref(DraftInvoice_Promoted; DraftInvoice)

{

}

The problem here is, that if i want to change my layout, i would need to manually upload it back to BC instead of letting VSCode handle it. Do you have a solution for me?
