    As ReportExtensions are not a thing, you have to copy the report, make adjustments, and henceforth use your modified Report.

    The tool to accomplish this, is the Txt2Al tool, you can read more here:

    Thank you Phogue - but then you have to change all Objects where the Report (Process Only) is called also.
    So i think this is not the best way to change Reports (Process Only).

    I agree that it's troublesome, and I hope Microsoft gives us something better, reports still feel like c/al
    But it's still better than unpacking the base app, making changes to the standard object, thus having to spend time in the future maintaining this

    If it's a processing only report, are there not any events you can subscribe to?
