Sync Dataset error on new Report

“Sync Dataset” is almost never a good idea. And I mean like 99.9% of the time.

All you need to do is

  1. Dup the report style
  2. Change the new styles RDD to the one you created
  3. Edit the report RDL, adding the fields and updating the query

You can test this out after step 2. It should produce the same results as the original style. If it doesn’t, then your report didn’t dup right, or your custom RDD is bad.

PS - you might have seen that error if the RDL was open in the editor when you tried to sync. Be glad it didn’t.

PPS - search the help for “modifying an Epicor supplied report” (or something like that) it describes the manual method fairly well.
