Hi,
I am using VS community 2019 and followed your steps by installing Microsoft Reporting Services Project.
I am able to create a new Report, but I am struggling with the Data Connection which I can’t find Embedded Connection Type = Microsoft Dynamics 365 Fetch as I can find it in VS community 2015.

Thanks
