- [Codeunit 9654 "Design-time Report Selection"](../codeunit/9654.md) (6 calls: `ClearTempLayoutSelected → SetSelectedCustomLayout`, `ClearTempLayoutSelected → SetSelectedLayout`, `GetTempLayoutSelected → GetSelectedCustomLayout`, …)

## Across versions

- Present in: BC23-30
- Changed (declaration) in: BC24-26, BC28-29

Source: AL metadata extracted from the code (names, ids, signatures, properties); no code bodies (D10).

## Ask your agent

Procedure bodies are not stored here (D10). The call sections above are our own, per object, from the BC29 call graph. For a procedure body or the calls of one procedure, ask bc-code-atlas (external, by Stefan Maron, MIT; default corpus w1-28), which the bc-observatory plugin connects: `bcatlas_resolve_node(object_type: "table", object_name: "Report Layout Selection")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.
