Now that we have Report Extensions
see:

it would be very helpful if we could get generic report trigger events, similar to table/page trigger events.

[EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Report, Report::"Standard Sales - Invoice", 'OnBeforeAfterGetRecord', 'Header', false, false)]
local procedure OnBeforeAfterGetRecord(Preview: Boolean; var Header: Record "Sales Invoice Header")
begin

end;
[EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Report, Report::"Standard Sales - Invoice", 'OnAfterAfterGetRecord ', 'Header', false, false)]
local procedure OnAfterAfterGetRecord(Preview: Boolean; var Header: Record "Sales Invoice Header")
begin

end;

if we get the report triggers like OnAfterAfterGetRecord as new event we could more easily integrate into standard reports.




Additionaly I would love a generic report event that is called for every report and every dataitem.

While I think the idea makes sense, I feel like such events will be quite limited though, without a way to get e.g. request page options, other protected variables, other data items, the Sender/CurrReport, etc.

Does MS have a policy on when things should be extensions, versus when they should be events? I feel like events might be difficult to integrate with reports, because they depend on so many variables and so much state, as above
