Umm, while what you say is sort of true, Vo.  However:

We wrote a report that was written from a header file down - then later
changed the structure so it reported from the detail file up.  We
therefore had made the changes necessary.  Assigning the model was not
just possible, it was necessary.

Secondly, we had a client who chose the wrong model when we gave them
some instructions.  They then changed the model, to the correct one.  As
the model change did not flow through, it took a while to work out why
it was linked differently to what the screen said.

If we really don't want the model to be changed, then make it read only
once a record exists.  At least this would indicate that you have to
delete and re-create the report action.

Writing the Pentaho report integration has shown us that we frequently
play, test, and change things enough that this is not an invalid
problem.  Yes, I understand you can't just change the model and expect
it to work.  But changing the model is valid in certain scenatios.
Reports do so much more than just refer to "sale.order".

Please, either merge the fix and expect us to be smart enough to
understand the consequences, or don't allow the model to be changed.

  appears under the object that it was first defined for.
