Since the only development and deployment method currently supports is Extension Development via a Sandbox using VS Code (AL Lang), isn't it great to have Report Extension Development capability too? There's always possible to dev Extensions for Standard Tables, Pages, CUs but why not Reports? Every End-Client requires their very own methods to represent data comes into an ERP. But as ISVs, we are getting answerless when they just simply ask, "can I add our company logo to this standard report?" I mean, it's obvious, practically. Eagerly waiting for this since there's no other way rather than Re-design the entire report just to map Client's small requirements, which is limited in Word/RDLC Custom Layout designer in base Business Central. (Simple suggestion, isn't it great to have the Core/Base Development ability like in good old days with NAV?)

Thank you for your feedback. We have released support for report extensions with 2021 Wave 1. With this you can make additive changes to existing dataitems, add new nested dataitems, modify request page and add additional layout (but not modify existing base layout). Watch the Virtual Launch session on What's New in AL and Visual Studio Code for more, as well as Docs Report extensibility - Dynamics 365 Release Plan | Microsoft Docs

Thanks,

Report extensions would be amazing, but caution! Being able to extend of even replace the dataset for a report would be nice, but keep performance in mind. Only being able to add fields and or data
