Copy query for a report

Is there really no way to copy a query from one report to another in ServiceNow? I have several reports for a dashboard that all need to have the same (sometimes tedious) query criteria and I'm recreating it manually over and over again. Seems like there ought to be a better way. Anyone have any ideas or recommendations?

I think the only thing you can do without scripting is to perform an insert of the report (from the front-end or back-end interfaces).

Earl Lewis, I agree with your "It's pretty silly" comment (and with Marcel's comment). I've done insert and stay to copy reports with their conditions many times to create a similar report, but when changing existing reports, it would be nice to be able to copy conditions from one report to another.   Instead I either have to insert and stay and update any other information in the each report, deleting the existing report, or I have to re-input all the conditions for each report, and where there are many conditions (25 or so in my case), this is very time-consuming. When your conditions involve choice lists, you don't have the option to do an easy scripting solution either.
