Event OnFetchReportLayoutByCode missing

Why do you need this change?

Create event to modify the layout state before printing but after a runmodal with the new method (Report Layout List 2000000234)

Describe the request

In CU44, there's a "FetchReportLayoutByCode" function to modify the layout before printing but after a runmodal.
Use with the old "Custom Report Layout". I can call a custom report before launching a report.

    [EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Codeunit, Codeunit::ReportManagement, OnFetchReportLayoutByCode, '', false, false)]
    local procedure OnFetchReportLayoutByCode(ObjectId: Integer; LayoutCode: Text; var TargetStream: OutStream; var IsHandled: Boolean)
    var
        CustomReportLayout: Record "Custom Report Layout";
        TempBlobIn: codeunit "Temp Blob";
        TempInStream: InStream;
        lSingleInstance: Codeunit "NVW NaviWest SingleInstance";
    begin
        LayoutCode := lSingleInstance.GetLayout();
        if not CustomReportLayout.Get(LayoutCode) then
            LayoutCode := '';

        if LayoutCode <> '' then begin
            CustomReportLayout.GetLayoutBlob(TempBlobIn);
            TempBlobIn.CreateInStream(TempInStream);
            CopyStream(TargetStream, TempInStream);
            IsHandled := true;
        end;
    end;

With the new method (Report Layout List 2000000234), is it possible to create a "OnFetchReportLayoutByCode" event to modify the layout state before printing but after a runmodal ? I haven't found a solution.

Hi CyrilleJsmt,

Thank you for your extensibility request.

A similar event already exists in this location that may serve your purpose:

Existing event: OnAfterSelectReportLayoutUI

[IntegrationEvent(false, false)]
local procedure OnAfterSelectReportLayoutUI(ObjectID: Integer; var LayoutName: Text; var LayoutAppID: Guid; Success: Boolean)
begin
end;

Location: ReportManagement.Codeunit.al

Would this existing event work for your scenario? If not, please explain why a new event is needed.

Please respond with confirmation or additional details. We'll re-analyze once you respond.

The Event OnAfterSelectReportLayoutUI must be call BEFORE a RUNMODAL report. Whereas I want to modify my layout AFTER the runmodal. With the old "Custom Report Layout" method, the OnFetchReportLayoutByCode event handled this very well !

I need a FetchReportLayoutUI event that works with the new "Report Layout List" method, as I explained just above.

Since you do not understand my request, I will phrase it more simply: how do I modify a report's layout using AL code once the report has been launched ?

Hello CyrilleJsmt,

Would it be suitable for your scenario if we add a new event, OnAfterGetSelectedReportLayout , in the SelectReportLayoutCode procedure of codeunit 44 Report Management ?

The event would be called after the current layout has been resolved but before it is returned to the reporting runtime:

SelectedLayoutName := DesignTimeReportSelection.GetSelectedLayout();
SelectedAppID := DesignTimeReportSelection.GetSelectedAppID();

if SelectedLayoutName = '' then
    if ReportLayoutSelection.Get(ObjectId, CompanyName) and
       (ReportLayoutSelection.Type = ReportLayoutSelection.Type::"Custom Layout")
    then
        SelectedLayoutName := ReportLayoutSelection."Custom Report Layout Code";

OnAfterGetSelectedReportLayout(ObjectId, SelectedLayoutName, SelectedAppID);

if (SelectedLayoutName <> '') and
   (StrLen(SelectedLayoutName) <= MaxStrLen(CustomReportLayout."Code"))
then
    ...

The new event would be:

[IntegrationEvent(false, false)]
local procedure OnAfterGetSelectedReportLayout(
    ObjectId: Integer;
    var LayoutName: Text[250];
    var LayoutAppID: Guid)
begin
end;

This would allow subscribers to replace both the layout name and its application ID during late layout resolution and would support layouts from the new Report Layout List flow.

As this repo will be archived in few days, I will close the issue. In case you still need proper event request, please create new issue as part of BCApps repo (https://github.com/microsoft/BCApps/issues)
