    We have spent a lot of time and effort in building a report format that works for us, however we need to be able to copy that "template" to other .pbix files so that we can standardise the look and feel of our reports. Like other users we have to either rebuild the report within the existing copy of the report and then remove what is not wanted (posing a risk that unwanted data may be processed), or we have to try to emulate the format in a new report. Both processes are time consuming. Is it possible to have "objects" that can then be given the properties of the visualisation so that the format can be kept and transferred?

    This would be really helpful, especially for slicers. For example, I often use the same time slicers across the top of my report. It takes a lot of time to format, size and align them; so, it'd be super awesome to be able to copy from one pbix file to another.
