After opening an ‘old’ Reporting Services project, we got the following exception message when we tried to build the report:
Custom parameter layout was detected in the report. SQL Server 2014 Reporting Services and earlier do not support custom parameter layout. Either reduce the error level to a value less than 3 or change the TargetServerVersion to a version that supports custom parameter layout.
To fix this error, you have to go to the Report properties:
- Right click on your Reporting Services Project, and choose Properties.
- Change the TargetServerVersion to SQL Server 2016 or later
