Hi guys,

May I ask how I can modify or add a new field in the BC 16's standard report?

Thank you.

You can't.....

You need to create a new one.
You can copy it from the original, and modify yours.

We all miss this in BC, in previous version we were having this flexibility but unfortunately not now

As the others mention, you cannot do this as there isn't an easy way to modify a report. In theory, if you were creating a new report, you could add integration events that you could override to substitute data or you could provide alternate layouts in your report configuration. For base reports, however, I do not know of any that do either of these things.

Go into the "Microsoft_Base Application_<version>.app" file in your .alpackages folder of your project, find the report object that you wish to change, and copy that to a new file with a new object number and name (I usually just append "Custom" to the name).

If this is a report that has a report selections entry, you can simply change that selection to run the new report number. Otherwise you will need to have a codeunit that overrides ReportManagement OnAfterSubstituteReport or find all the page references to that report and modify the page actions:

[EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Codeunit, Codeunit::ReportManagement, 'OnAfterSubstituteReport', '', false, false)]
local procedure OnAfterSubstituteReport(ReportId: Integer; var NewReportID: Integer)
begin
if ReportId = Report::"Detail Trial Balance" then
NewReportID := REPORT::"Custom Detail Trial Balance";
end;
