How to re-use a query from another report (V6.5)?

[system]

Hi,

I created reports with providers I want to re-use in other reports. I would have found interesting to have the option when creating a new provider with open reports (like “use query already existing in report” [french translation]).

How can I do that?

Thanks.

That functionality is not available in the product itself, but you may find this utility useful for that purpose.
