Has anyone found a workaround for this? When I open a standard Modern General Ledger report, it automatically excludes zero-balance balance sheet accounts with no beginning balance and no activity for the selected period. However, if I simply save that report as a Custom Report (without changing anything), reopening the custom report includes those zero-balance accounts again. The old "Show" settings (such as Non-zero) are no longer available in the Modern General Ledger, so there doesn't appear to be a way to retain the standard report's behavior after saving. I contacted QuickBooks Support, and they indicated that this is currently how Modern Reports work: the standard report applies the Non-zero behavior dynamically, but once saved as a custom report, only the saved customization settings are used—and there is no option to save the Non-zero behavior. This is especially frustrating because I use Office Scripts to automate formatting of exported General Ledger reports. The script can handle a lot, but filtering out these extra accounts would require looping through the exported rows, making the automation more complex, slower, and more prone to breaking if the export format changes. Has anyone found a better workaround, or is this simply a limitation of Modern Reports?
