It seems like more people would be intrigued with the possibilities of tweaking reports without the risk of breaking a feature. Particularly one that they use often enough that tweaking it seemed like a good idea.
Making a duplicate add-on addon sidesteps putting the original at risk. However, there are differences between built-ins and 3rd party add-onsaddons. It seemed like that might require at least converting the library paths and making a new <code>.gpr.py</code> registration file. What else?
==A reply privately shared==
In a private message ''{on March 28th}'', GaryG privately replied and sent a few copies of reports generated that address are examples of internal reports converted to the questionAddon format.
In the sample cases, Gary had taken the Detailed Ancestor and [[Addon:Descendant_and_Detailed_Descendant_Book_Reports|Detailed Descendant ]] stock reports and added the ability to include *all* images for everyone. The Detailed individual report had that functionality, but the ancestor/descendant did not. ==Find the original Addon Python source==Reports can be difficult to find in the Gramps collection of source code. There are a wide variety of report flavors: text and graphical reports, Quick Reports, reporting View modes and reporting Gramplets. And each can be built-in or be a 3rd Party Addon. So, the first step is to find the master copy of the module generating the report. Third party addons are easy to locate within the <code>gramps51\plugins</code> subdirectory of the [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_User_Directory|User Directory]]. You just make a duplicate of the report and modify the duplicate to be distinct (both to Gramps and how the modified report will appear in the GUI) from the original. For the built-ins, we''' start with the [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Command_Line#report_action_option|CLI Reports list]] from a stock installation of Gramps:<pre> Available names are: ancestor_chart - Ancestor Tree ancestor_report - Ahnentafel Report birthday_report - Birthday and Anniversary Report calendar - Calendar descend_chart - Descendant Tree descend_report - Descendant Report det_ancestor_report - Detailed Ancestral Report det_descendant_report - Detailed Descendant Report endofline_report - End of Line Report family_descend_chart - Family Descendant Tree family_group - Family Group Report familylines_graph - Family Lines Graph fan_chart - Fan Chart hourglass_graph - Hourglass Graph indiv_complete - Complete Individual Report kinship_report - Kinship Report navwebpage - Narrated Web Site notelinkreport - Note Link Report number_of_ancestors - Number of Ancestors Report place_report - Place Report records - Records Report rel_graph - Relationship Graph statistics_chart - Statistics Charts summary - Database Summary Report tag_report - Tag Report timeline - Timeline Chart WebCal - Web Calendar</pre> <pre>C:\Program Files\GrampsAIO64-5.1.3-2\gramps\plugins\view\view.gpr.pyC:\Program Files\GrampsAIO64-5.1.3-2\gramps\plugins\importer\import.gpr.pyC:\Program Files\GrampsAIO64-5.1.3-2\gramps\plugins\export\export.gpr.pyC:\Program Files\GrampsAIO64-5.1.3-2\gramps\plugins\mapservices\mapservice.gpr.pyC:\Program Files\GrampsAIO64-5.1.3-2\gramps\plugins\tool\tools.gpr.pyC:\Program Files\GrampsAIO64-5.1.3-2\gramps\plugins\gramplet\gramplet.gpr.pyC:\Program Files\GrampsAIO64-5.1.3-2\gramps\plugins\textreport\textplugins.gpr.pyC:\Program Files\GrampsAIO64-5.1.3-2\gramps\plugins\quickview\quickview.gpr.pyC:\Program Files\GrampsAIO64-5.1.3-2\gramps\plugins\docgen\docgen.gpr.pyC:\Program Files\GrampsAIO64-5.1.3-2\gramps\plugins\drawreport\drawplugins.gpr.pyC:\Program Files\GrampsAIO64-5.1.3-2\gramps\plugins\graph\graphplugins.gpr.pyC:\Program Files\GrampsAIO64-5.1.3-2\gramps\plugins\webreport\webplugins.gpr.py</pre>

{{stub}}Apart from filing a bug report and waiting a long time for someone qualified to do something about it, you will have to modify the code.
Unfortunately the Detailed Descendant and Detailed Ancestor reports are part of the main program and are not plugins.
