Title: Is Rollback of Convert to template possible
Post by: kris123 on 13 Sep 2012 12:24:18 AM
Hello,
I have created a report and clicked on "Convert to template". I want to edit the report in the same screen by doing a rollback (undo)...but I do not see any option.

Is it possible?

Hi Kris,

If you didn't save that report which you created and you clicked that "convert to template" it will not be back in that report there is no rollback option or UNDO is available.

Guys lemme know if i am wrong.

Thanks
Ravi

Hi Kris / Ravi

Yes, it is possible to rollback a template back to a report again.

Solution: copy the xml to clipboard -> paste in editor (notepad) -> find template="true" and and replace it with template="false" -> select all of the xml -> open from clipboard in report studio -> save as. VOILA!!! ;D

Thanks,
RK

thanks
May be it is the workaround (have to try later to confirm), but do not understand why I can not rollback using "undo"
