I am creating reports that use a connection to an Azure PostGRES database. I created a minimal template getting minimal information from one table, meaning the connection information is in the file and the the table content is properly retrieved when I import the template into a file.


However, when I go to the recent connections drop down, it is empty.


It seems to me that one of the advantages of setting up such a template would be to avoid having to create the connection every I want to make a new report.

And since, the content from that data source is retrieved at import, it seem to me that connection is "recent".


So, the idea/request is simply to include unique connections that are in a template in the recent connections list as part of the import a template, or craeting a report from template process.
