Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for a channel state information (CSI) report configuration with a codebook list, for example, for non-coherent joint transmission (NCJT). A method for wireless communication that can be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving a CSI report configuration. The CSI report configuration is associated with one or more CSI reference signal (RS) resources. Each CSI-RS resource includes a set of ports or port groups. The UE receives a list of codebooks associated with the configuration. The UE determines at least one codebook, from the list of codebooks, to apply for one or more triggered CSI-RS resources.
