    Is there a way to get the Dataset specification in JSON as it is possible to do with Data Modules (Ctrl + / + q) and Dashboards (Ctrl + .)?

    Hi Alex.

    I think that it is not possible to get a JSON specification for dataset. The base is the same technique as a report.

    But you can get the XML specification in the top right menu via "Copy To Clipboard".

    Hello Jens,

    Thanks for the suggestion. It seems in version 11.1.5 this "Copy to Clipboard" option is not available. Or I cannot see it.

    I click in the three dots but nothing happens.

    You need the "other" three dots:

    The feature to work with data sets like report queries has been introduced in 11.1.7: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cognos-analytics/11.1.0?topic=reporting-data-set-improvements
