Ability to store notes/comments with a custom report (Q Mac)

Would like a free-form text field associated with a report that lets me save notes about the report. I'd use this to describe what options the report uses, a more detailed description of the report and its purpose; i.e. any custom notes that are pertinent to the report. This would be just like the existing notes field for each account.

    Absolutely needed! QM2007 has this ability to add a description. Really useful to get this back.

    Under the current Report Engine you can current name a report as needed AND record a description. Not sure what more is needed...

    In my mind, this IDEA had been implemented.

    I agree this could be marked implemented. The Description field isn't practical for a long note, but it's probably good enough for most needs.

    One thing that's odd is that you can only see and edit the note from the Reports screen. It would be nice if you could enter/edit the description while editing the report -- I'd expect it to be on the Editor Report screen -- but you can't. For users who access their reports via the Reports menu rather than the Reports screen, this might be confusing. (It's not important enough for me to create a new Idea post for this, but if someone created such a request, I'd give it a vote. ;) )
