• SQL Server Setting default values for report items

  Is it too much to ask for the SSRS team to add a "feature" that allows us developers/report designers to set (and save) the default values for report items God only knows how much time I've spent on the tedious and yet remedial task of changing the Padding (left, right, top, bottom) = 0pt, over and over and over... And now in SSRS 2005, I can't even select more than one textbox report item and change the padding property for all of them at the same time; I get that annoying "Invalid Value" popup error message. Or the font style and size, alignment ... How about setting the default size of a report item Rig ...Show All
