This is confusing. Gnucash works a little backward, you first run a 
report "default" and then use edit=> report options to set the 
parameters, date(s) and format that you want. I suspect THAT is what you 
mean by "configurations", yes?

IT STAYS THAT WAY (with those settings) until you close the report 
report (close the tab of that report. So while you can SAVE reports 
(with the latest configuration you have chosen) you can also leave it of 
formatting settings, nesting level, subtotaling, etc.Then all I need do 
is use edit => report options to specify the date(s) for THIS run of the 
report.

But if you normally run lots of different report, learn how to save.
