Add ability to insert chart into detail report section

I presented my use case in this unreplied post but I'm developing a print template for use in Experience Builder so I can export the results of the Near Me widget in the style and format of what I currently use with the JS API and I need to insert a chart into the detail section of a report template but that isn't allowed- they can only go everywhere BUT the detail section and this makes absolutely no sense.

Hi Steve,

Sorry I missed your question and never responded! We introduced charts into reports in Pro 2.6. At that time, there were no charts that supported multiple fields; therefore, it never made sense in the Details subsection (where each row only represents one feature, not an aggregation). This aligned with other reporting tools.

Now that pie charts have been introduced in 3.1, we need to catch up. We will work on supporting charts in the Details subsection in an upcoming release.

As a workaround for now, I see from your other post that you're using a Page Per Feature template. If you add a group using a unique feature identifier (like OBJECTID), you can move all your dynamic text into the Group Header and insert the pie chart there. The Details subsection can be unchecked, you won't need it. The report should end up looking identical. Please let me know if you run into problems.

It's important to note that charts are not supported for print service yet, there is no way to update them when you run the report.

Thanks!

Alycia

Alycia, while I disagree with the substance of your reply, I appreciate you offering the context for the current situation. Census data (with which I am working with) seems to be precisely the use case FOR the use of graphs inside the details section. I'll attach a copy of a report my JS API application generates as an example of what I'm trying to replicate and how the graphs work within the on feature context.

Based on your description of the current state of affairs, there's no point in my attempt to replicate this. Experience Builder export doesn't support this type of output export & suggests using custom report templates instead. Now you're telling me that it won't support that either. So now I'm stuck, still supporting a JS API application that we want to get off but can't.
