Hi Hans, the goal of the existing product store (and demo data in general) is to provide a basis for demonstrating available features. Demo data are also used as a basis for automated tests. This is why we should consider demo data a very important part of the project, at the same level of code: we should take care of it and spend time to keep it clear, in a similar way we do with services. But this takes time and so we should keep demo data as small as possible by avoiding duplicated information. If there are specific settings in the product store that are mandatory for the reports to work properly, then we should discuss this and see if we can modify the settings of the official product store. If this is not possible (but I would be surprised of this) we should probably add a new product store with minimal data setup just to demonstrate the reports. If you simply don't have time to do this now, my preference would be to keep the demo data for the reports into a separate file attached to a Jira issue.
