Is it possible to show inline description in general ledger transaction reports?

Not sure what you mean. Kindly add more details. For example, Create a sample transaction and show the information you would like to see displayed in the general ledger report. It will make it easy for others to understand your request and provide a good response or even rally support for your request.

But I think if its come from inline description, It will be better for report understanding

I would like to bring to your attention a suggestion for enhancing the General Ledger transaction report.

Currently, the report displays descriptions from the Main description field for payments and receipts entries. However, I believe it would greatly improve user understanding if the report could incorporate in-line descriptions instead.

In-line descriptions offer a more contextual and detailed insight into transactions, providing a clearer understanding of the associated entries. This small adjustment could significantly enhance the usability of the General Ledger transaction report.

If you leave the top level `Description` blank, you will get the line descriptions instead.

This setup enables the user to supply the top level `Description` once for each transaction and leave the line `Description` blank for all the lines and still have the transaction lines described in report.

Wouldn’t that work for you @Mahfuzur_Rahman?
