Can I reuse a report drilldown or do I have to recreate each time?

I'm creating series of reports based on the same table which require the same drilldown.  Is there anyway to reuse the required layout or do I have to recreate each and every time?

I drill downs are specific to the report so you have to build them each time.  Hopefully, someone can tell me I'm wrong, but I believe this is the case.  It may be possible to manually edit the sys_report record (possibly with an XML export/import) but even if that worked, I would discourage that as it wouldn't be supported.

Thanks Adam not the answer I was hoping for but what I was suspecting would be the case.  It's a shame there isn't an option to reuse 'standard list drilldowns" especially when you have to repeat it several times for a series of reports based on the same table.

Have you submitted an enhancement request in HI for this?  It makes sense to me, but I haven't seen it requested before.

I've not submitted an enhancement request in HI for this.   While a copy insert will save time when doing reports in bulk, frequently a report is created from stratch and then I may decide upon consultation with my internal customer that they want the same drilldown as another report hence why an option to save and reuse drilldowns would be useful. I will have to get our system admin to raise this on my behalf. Thanks again.
