Scheduling multiple instances of one report with different parameters

Hi! I am unclear as to what the best method for my problem would be using CE 8.5.

I have one report with a parameter, e.g. "Day of Week". In the report itself, the selection criteria is:

tablename.fieldname Like {?DayofWeek}

where the parameter can have a "*" indicating ALL.

Now, when I load the report in CE, I can set the parameter however i want...whether it be Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc.

My question relates to ease of maintenance. If I were to go into that report...and perhaps change the header or add a column, whatever it may be...I loose all of my parameter setups for each individual instance.

So, then I have to go back into each individual folder (or occurance) and reset the parameters. Obviously, this makes for a maintenance nightmare. What are my options?
