The bulk import function always assigns the auto connect, not the consolidated connection, when bringing reports in. This causes problems if you're bringing in reports that were using the consolidated connection when exported out of another system:

1. Subreports still show as "Consolidated Report Designer Add-In" but they don't have the field where you indicate which databases to include. You then get all zeros on the reports.

2. Reporting trees only show the company you're logged in with, when clicking the drop-down to view companies to select from.

I just had to individually import 22 reports because this option isn't available, and that was after quite a bit of time to figure out the source of the problem (all reports assigned to auto connect).
