In this example, my source citation is identical throughout; consequently, if I
have 10 uses of in my report, when I preview it before printing, the Sources in
the back of my report repeats that source 10 times. When I had the option to
use the "ibid", the full source would print out once and then the other 9 times
it would print "ibid". To me, it was a much cleaner and clearer presentation
of the sources.
How do you get the Legacy report referencing the earlier footnote number (for
identical sources)? Is that something happens only when the report is sent out
to a printer or to a website rather than just previewed before printing?

But...
Isn't your source listing even more compact, when a Legacy report references
the earlier footnote number (for identical sources)? Not even a line is
required for printing "ibid" and using a new footnote number.
If your repeated sources have differences in the source detail, then that's
where the 'subsequent citation' comes in. Yes, it is not as compact as
"ibid, p.31", but it is more compact than the original citation at least,
and it has the advantage of also being applicable when the repeated
citations are not consecutive in the footnote list. Let's throw our energy
behind getting this system to work properly. Then implementing something
like the 'ibid, p.31' example would be a minor variant on 'subsequent
citations' in the special case where the footnotes are adjacent. IMHO.
