GRAMPS 5.2.4 works well if you have multiple databases and various reports if however you have one database and use multiple versions of the same report it becomes an issue.

My work round is to create a report in Database A and then rename the Database to B create the report variant and then rename back to A seems clumsy.

Separately could the addition of the any custom filter used to create the report be added to the .xml file

You might find the following feature request interesting

- [0011618: Add save report options + add HTML links to GraphViz report](https://gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=11618)

It adds a **Save Options** & **Load Options** button to each of the reports.

Needs testing and only has a patch file that needs to be applied.

Normally, all reports save their own options for each database from 6.0
