I tried to export a custom report data definition this morning and the only option that comes up is a .xml file (see below), not a zip file with and RDL like previously. Last time I did this was last Wednesday 12/6/2023 and was able to get a zip file with the .rdl file then. 

Is anyone else having this issue?

I usually copy and existing one and then modify it, adding fields and needed datasets.

You could also create a BAQ and then create a BAQ Report
From Actions - Test the report and then download the RDL.

Look in the application help and search for BAQ Report Designer.

That works well for me.

 

Edit: Did you create a report style?
If there is an existing report that is similar, report style > create a copy and assign the report definition you modified.

( I normally would copy the report definition associate with the report that is similar to what I am creating - SO, Packlist, Invoice - I just copy that definition and add to it.)

Then download from actions. Choose your C: only.  It will create a folder titled reports > custom report. 

Open the rdl and make your changes and save

Return to the report style > highlight your copy
Select actions > Upload - pointing only to your C: drive 
(It will know where to pull the RDL from.)

Thank you, I did that to create my custom report but the issue is I can not export the report to a .rdl file. Just trying to see if it is happening to others. It worked fine last week but no longer seems to be working.
