However, you don't have to do this every time you want to run the same report with the same options. After setting it up as you want it, use Saved Report Configurations. Find information about that in the documentation.
Your options would be saved even if you didn't do a "saved reports" as long as the report is still "open" (a tab exists for it). Thus typically for each set of books I have at least an Income Statement and a Balance Sheet still "open". This is a matter of how you use gnucash. In my case, I never have more than a few tabs open at the same time so plenty of room on that bar.
After running a report, I normally would export it to a directory which holds [past reports for that entity (that set of books). Note that especially in the past I would be keeping the books for a number of organizations. That means a given report might be wanted in different forms, so exporting the "raw report" and then editing outside of gnucash to get the finished reports far easier << the level of detail wanted by a Board of Directors and the level of detail needed to fill out things like the 990-EZ or determine if 1099-MISCs need to be filed not the same.Thus the Bod might want to see the total paid for mowing orchards, not how much to each farmer doing that and whether >$600 in the year (1099-MISC needed).
