Let's ask few questions to ourself about Salesforce Report Types:
1. Can we add multiple custom fields in multiple Report Types in single click?
2. Can we update fields of multiple Report Types at the same time?
3. Can we remove multiple fields from multiple Report Types in single click?
Answer is BIG NO. Salesforce standard Report Types doesn't provide these bulk features. In case, if an admin has to perform these actions, then admin would have to open each and every Report Types one by one and perform the required action.
These type of work requests would take much more effort and time, but with our Salesforce Appexchange application Bulk Object Field Creator (BOFC), admin can update multiple Report Types in few clicks.
