This seems like a good opportunity for a new workflow.
Since @kku added the Capture output option and Print Output tab to SuperTool, it is much more straightforward to experiment with ideas for composing lines for reports without the drudgery of all the interface tweaking, registration and restarting.
@GaryGriffin created the Sample Report for new developers for 5.1
There’s an aging wiki article about how to Adapt a built-in Report.
The parts that are missing are:
- adding the line to a clone of a quickview report (Such as the Biography addon quickview report) before going to all the work for a regular Report. (Because running the iterative test in Reports would be an agony.)
- adding the “witness” to the Family Group report and its extensive Report Options
- the fussy document describing how to move the work from SuperTool, to QuickView, to Sample Report, to fork of the built-in report, to posting the Pull request
(A documented workflow would be nice since it might be leverage to build other QuickViews… such as a Name timeline report.)
