Duplicating a standard report has been considered a very bad practice for 10 years. For the reason, see the answers in the forum.

Did you consider usin the same report, you could, for example, change a small part of logic/code (e.g. field catalog and filling internal table) checking for transaction code or user authorization (Or are you paid by the line)

Hi,

You can do so with InsighZAP. 

It enables you to create a new report based on another Z report, standard report, or query.

Then you can add columns. 

Here's a link to a YouTube video showing how to add columns.

It's good practice to add a disclaimer to indicate that you are the author (if you are the author). Could you explain what is the advantage of this tool, because it's highly NOT recommended to copy a report, but instead you should enhance the existing report, even if it's standard.

Hi @Sandra_Rossi,

My suggestion was not to duplicate a report.

InsightZAP acts as a virtual layer. That means that the code is left untouched without any modifications.

On top of the report, we add two columns (or more) and make any adjustments.
