Reports - Toggle display names (Reporting v Account name)
Where the "Reporting Name" feature is used when creating accounts, it would be great to be able to select either account name or reporting name when running reports such as the BS, P&L or trial balance

Our old reports were based on the chart of accounts names, with the retirement of the old reports, this is critical.

Definitely a critical feature we would love to be able to use, especially after the old P & L and balance sheet reports get phased out!

Can't believe that this issue/idea was raised back in Aug22 and yet Xero do nothing about it! It is so important that clients able to run their own P&L and Balance Sheet using the account names they setup for management reporting. The accountant only preparing the FS annually. Totally not happy about this, Xero! The changes you are making are causing a lot of more issues. Please retain the old reporting if you unable to get this fix by 31 July 2023.

Clients needs to be able to run their P&L and Balance Sheet using their selected account names. If you want Xero to be a product for both client and accountant purposes, you need to have both options as they are needed for different purposes.
