Report Editor

Workflow for modifying existing RDLX-JSON reports on a Datex Studio branch using the dxs CLI.

Key principle: Understand before modifying. Download and inspect the current report before making any changes.

Authoring approach:

• Incremental CLI (set/move/remove/batch/table add-column/dataset add-field) for all modifications
• Direct JSON only for structures the CLI cannot handle (PageHeader/PageFooter, complex Tablix grouping)
• Never recreate from scratch -- work with the existing file
