I have a report which i am using recursively as a subreport.
At runtime, i modify the report based on user inputs (I add some columns, sorting,  groupings, etc.).
I would like to clone the already customized report instance so that I can provide it as the subreport reportsource without having to redo the customization for every single instance. 

Is there an easy way to do that? Are report instances Clonable?

Hi Ivo,

There isn't a deep clone of the report but you can serialize and deserialize it to get a copy easily. 
 

Kind regards,
