We probably need to keep pointing this out to people new to gnucash because it is counter-intuitive (being backwards)

With gnucash you FIRST "run" a report, which brings the report up with default settings. Then you use edit=>report options to select the options that you want for this run of the report. The report will change when you "apply" these changes. They will stay that way as long as the report is open (tab still there).  But you can also "save" a report.

Personally, if not leaving a report open, I reset the options that I  want at the next running of the report to remain conscious of the options being used. But that's because personally I am not running with many options set. Were I, I'd probably save BUT that introduces the potential error of WRONG saved report being brought back (say you have several, same report but different options.

NOTE: There are SOME reports where you should always be setting some options. For example, the explicit effective dates.
