Agree
Which is why during custom report development I always also show (Select … in Manager terminology) extra information such as:
- General ledger account → name (& code)
It gives context to the data displayed, or in more detail Custom Report Not Returning Transaction Type Properly - #12 by Patch. Similarly there are multiple amount type variables which can be displayed / Selected, see this post for details Account Amount inclusive Tax in Reports - #7 by Patch
After the report is working the extra information can be removed from the report definition
Edit, link to a comparison of the various amounts displayable via custom reports
