I know templates, but this is not what I'm looking for.

I want a thema that can be implemented on several older, existing reports too.

And I know how to create a json-theme file file by hand.

The very basic functions that are in de PBI Desktop Theme-editor are not sufficient.

So I was thinking that on a given visual, that meet your expectations on layout you could launch a 'call' (or whatever you name it) that causes the layout settings to be 'pasted' in the theme as the default for that visual type.

At that moment you would be able to save the theme as a custom theme.

Next you start with another type of visual ans dave it again.

That would be the easy way to build a theme.

 

Just like in word you can select a formatted text and transform its layout into a Style that can be re-used on other parts of text.
