I hope someone is able to assist with this. We are actively attempting to use SSRS 2016 with Report Builder 2016 & Mobile Report Publisher 2016 to spearhead a new customer portal for our business. Unfortunately, there is a nasty list of BUGS and workarounds building up for core functionality of the product. Without fixes in place, it makes the product in a business environment almost infeasible.
Some of the bugs/workarounds we have encountered include:
dataset parameters in Mobile Reports do not work without manually editing the mobile report file.
datasets can't be re-edited in the query designer without manually editing the report file.
Cannot use date filter/picker in mobile reports when connected to SSAS Tabular model without creating a custom date measure which then causes incorrect results in report.
Unable to pass a dynamic parameter into a report before rendering it. The parameter must be pre-determined and stored within the report. This one really get's me, I mean, seriously??? Anyone who has worked with reports KNOWS you MUST be able to dynamically pass parameters into a report before you render it. How this was missed is beyond me?? In the programming world, this would be like writing a function where the parameters have to be pre-determined. You just wouldn't do that because it makes the parameters pointless.
Mobile Reports do not retain the color scheme when re-opened in the designer, sounds like a small issue but has resulted in reports with different color schemes.
