With the new legal obligations through the Building Safety Act putting massive additional requirements on contractors to provide extensive information packs to clients this functionality is essential to avoid a huge amount of manual time and effort to export forms to PDF and manually output each attachment to combine it into a single PDF to incorporate into a handover pack. I would agree there ought to be the option to also include child forms, and on the report generation dialog box I would want to see separate tick boxes to "Include attachments" and "Include associated forms".
Ideally the 'Include associated forms' option would allow you to select which form types should be included in the output, but just having the ability to output all associated forms would be a massive leap forward.
