I would like to see a report definition that is similar to the newly announced Tabular Model Definition Language (TMDL)


I'd like to see all the bookmarks

Page details

Visual postions

Theme file definitions


All of this should be exposed as files in a similar way that PBI-Tools does today.

How about calling it "Canvas Report Definition Language"?

This, alongside TMDL for modelling, would be a game changer for our organisation.Wishes would be:Human readable, mergeable format.Directly openable and saveable in PBI Desktop (not auxiliary 'Import' / 'Export' functions)

Yes please - this would make it possible to automate reportbuilding and ci/cd possible as well
