Description

My understanding is that the new Report feature is supposed to be something like a series of atlas groups, that's certainly the way it seems to behave, but whilst the maps correctly iterate over the selected field for the given layer, it does not appear to be possible to do the same with attribute tables.

Using the older Atlas generator, one could select 'current atlas feature' as a source for the attribute table, but within a group in Report layout, no such selection seems to be possible. Surely there should be a 'current report feature' option, or similar to match attribute tables to maps, otherwise Report layout is a retrograde step from the abilities of the Atlas.

I've added this as a bug for now because I'm working on the presumption that it would have been the intention of the Report layout to at least replicate (if not improve on) the functions of the Atlas, and so the option is somehow not working properly.

I'm also confused by the option 'Show only features intersecting report feature' which appears to be permanently greyed out no matter what other options are selected.

To be clear, the behaviour I would expect is the ability to filter the attribute table attached to a map so that it only shows the attributes for the feature that map is zoomed to by the report layout.

If this is not just an oversight, then I'll convert this to a feature request.
