Currently, there are three different endpoints to create a report. One for normal process reports, one for decisions and one for combined reports. After implementing OPT-2256 the report is created by the frontend before saving it on the backend. The logic right now is

const reportType = getReportType(report);
const reportId = createNewReportInBackend(reportType);
updateReportInBackend(reportId, report);

Instead, I propose to have only a single backend endpoint for each report type (so three in total rather), which create and save a new report based on already existing payload and returns the new id:

const reportId = createNewReportInBackend(report);

AT:

• create report endpoint accepts and uses a report definition body
• the change is documented https://app.camunda.com/confluence/display/CO/Reports#Reports-CreateaReport
