Preferences for default columns in a subreport?

Joseph Witkin

If I click on the amount in a report showing totals in a category, to bring up a detail subreport. the subreport by default shows every single column - tag, reconciled, number - and the transactions go way out of the window. Is there a way to select a preference for default columns that come up in this situation? For example, I usually just want date, payee, memo and amount. I'm aware I can get rid of the extra columns, but its an extra step every time. Would be a good improvement if not available now.

The subreport is a filtered version of the Banking Transaction report. You are right that each time the base report is opened, it defaults to showing all columns.

It would be nice if the subreport column selections were saved with the main report when you save it.

But what I am seeing is that the subreport remembers the column widths you have set, so if you make the unwanted columns narrow but not zero width, they do not take up much screen space. These widths are remembered even if you do not save the report. So if you adjust the column widths so that only the desired ones take up space on the screen, you should be able to get the effect you want.

Does that work for you?
