Change in FM model only requires all already linked reports to be migrated?

Hi All,

Suppose we have 1 FM and 10 reports linked to that. Now i did some change in FM, but those changes wont impact existing report(meaning they wont break and will continue to run if i just migrate only FM).

My question is ,does we need to open each report , validate and save against updated FM in Dev environment and then migrate all 10 reports each time when there is only change in FM?

If you're 100% confident the reports will not break as a result of the changes you made, then you can just move the package from Dev to Prod. You should test that the reports don't break in Dev before you deploy over, obviously.

If you want a bulletproof strategy, it's obviously best to check, update and migrate all reports as well, but the final choice is yours :)
