Unable to create a custom report to export all item descriptions

I was able to create a custom report that returns the item descriptions, but it only includes the descriptions attached to an item. I wasn't able to get the rest of the item descriptions that were attached to a blank item column. Is there any way to include these in my report results?

Hi there notice1,

 

It's important for your transactions to be entered properly for your books to be well balanced. QuickBooks Desktop is a great tool able to help you keep track of transactions to see the financials of your business. I can provide some information about line items and descriptions.

 

In order for a description to be shown in a report, it must be associated with a line item, not a blank line. I can see that having these blank lines with descriptions included in reports could help with keeping track of your invoices for clients. I recommend you leave feedback in the system by clicking the Help menu in the top bar, then Submit feedback online. Comments made in that section are taken into consideration when creating new functions for QuickBooks Desktop.
