Changing Field Descrion on on the view and applying the change to the reports
4 December, 2009
I have a View and 6 reports from that view
I had a field called "TheTime"
The format in the view is a text field
Now the field "TheTime" has a format of Time
How do I get my existing View and related 6 reports
To accept the new format

Reports inherit the view formatting options when the report is first created.
Any changes made to the view after the report is created won't automatically apply to the report, you will need to apply these manually.
Changes won't apply automatically because a user could format the column differently at the report level on purpose.
Therefore it is best practice to plan your view and ensure that the column name are correct prior to starting to avoid future rework.
