Report Wizard forgets changed Display Columns order pre-Save
While Editing a Custom Report, if you change the order in Display Columns, then go to Next and beyond, then Prev your way back to "Step 1 Select columns to display" - or - if you Run Report then choose to Edit to continue desigining, your new order in Display Columns is forgotten and reverts to what you chose initially if creating anew, or the last time you ever Saved the report.
To replicate, create a new Custom Report, on Select Columns To Display, select a couple columns to display, go to Next, go right back with Prev, change their order, go to Next again, then Prev again and they are reverted to your initial order / last saved order.
Or, create a new Custom Report, on Select Columns To Display, select a couple columns to display, go to Run Report, go right back with Edit, change their order, go to Run Report again, then Edit again and they are reverted to your initial order / last saved order.
The work around is to understand that every time you want to adjust the order, you must Save the report before you can go back to that "Step 1 Select columns to display" during the composition process - i.e., you cannot Prev back. That kind of defeats the purpose of Editing and modeling a report with Prev and Edit buttons prior to commit, but nonetheless, the work around works.
Other settings on other pages seem to be retained by the Wizard prior any Save during fluid design activity.
I would hope a repair to SD+ is simple to make this more user friendly. Thanks.
