We have some field that are not in dataset of report RDLC 205 Sales Order Confirmation.

How can we create extension and extend report in Visual StudioCode/AL with only 1 field?

If that is not possible how can we create extension wiyh new report and make a copy of the default 205 report?

Hi,

You cannot create Report Extensions - yet! Right now the only option is to create a copy of the report, extend the copy with the new field.

Then you can use the new replace/override report option.

ontwerps3,

Export the report and convert it to AL and renumber the object and adding the extra fields in VS code and edit the layout with Visual studio.

Remember to use exportToNewsyntax as pr. the link I added previous
