Ticking checkboxes for current issues

When I print a patient encounter, I like to include all current medications, allergies, treatments and diagnoses by default.  It is very tedious to go through long lists of issues to check them off one by one.  Through version 4.0 I have been able to go into patient_report.php and type in the word “checked” into strategic places in the checkbox coding for each of these types of issues.  I was also able to limit printing of issues to those without an end date.

However, with the upgrade to the development version (4.2 dev)  of September 9, 2011, I found that this method no longer worked for me.  I tinkered with the patient_report.php file and the custom_report.php file and found that I could affect the checking of immunizations, demographics etc but not issues.  Apparently the patient_report.php file has recently been changed.  Now I don’t know what to do to make current issues be checked by default.  Any ideas?

Also, it seems appropriate to put

$printable = true;

line somewhere in custom_report.php as an override.  I can’t see the sense in having to click a button to make a display printable when I  want to print all the time.
