I am creating a set of documents with multiple layouts for the same element type/stereotype. Using element reports to do this works fine, but I have to re-create the custom layouts in each new document.
Suggestion is to store the custom layout in an exportable profile, in much the same way as default element profiles.

Hi Phillip,
have you tried exporting the Profile, and importing it into the new document ?

Yes (first thing I tried). It doesn’t work because there are 2 custom reports: 1 using the default element layout, & the 2nd with a custom layout. Only the 1st gets copied (sort of). I can send you the example if you want.

Just tried again: both report definitions appear in the profile, but the one with custom format options gets copied over as “Use defaults for element type”, so I basically only have 1 report using the default stereotype profile.
