Hi there, ShellyS.

I appreciate you for coming back here to QuickBooks Community and for performing the steps shared above. 

For now, there's no option to show the item in the Journal Entry to be able to change the item code within the journal entry, because JE is intended as a correcting entry for accounts. Meanwhile, you'll need to delete and recreate them as a different type of transaction like Bill/Invoice/Sales Receipt. As a result, you're able to use the items and can change the code anytime that associate with this.

Then, to delete the journal entry, you'll have to open this transaction from the report and choose the Delete icon.

You can refer to this article to see different information on how you can make any changes with the details of the items in QuickBooks Desktop: Add, edit, and delete items.

Please see or click the attached screenshots below for visual references on how or where you can add items on each transaction and how you can change that item code within the said entry.

Please refer to this article to view different details about reports in QBDT so you're able to see various transactions from there and can make any changes like items connected with the specific entry: Understand reports.

You can also click this article to see steps on how you can customize any report that you generate to personalize the font and style of the report so you're able to see the data that you want to view: Customize reports in QuickBooks Desktop.

the "normal" or "expected" behavior is still not a good way of handling the program.

Furthermore I would challenge you on what you are saying.

My system setup is

Lenovo Laptop with 4K screen (#1) , Thunderbold docking station with 2 4k lenovo thinkvision monitors (2 and 3) and HDMI from laptop to Sony 4K 65" TV, (4)

All four screens are set to extend to this screen so in windows i show 4 monitors

all four monitors are set to 3820x2160

if i open qb on laptop screen i can see report details, if i move the whole app to the tv screen i can see report details, but if i move it to either monitor 2 or 3 i cannot. So It is not that report must be openned on main screen. Honesty I am a little frustrated as I just replace screen 2 and 3 think the issue was because main display was 4 K and screen 2 and 3 were not, their max resolution was  2560x1440, so i just wasted a grand on some really nice monitors that did not solve my issue. 

Intuit QuickBooks you need to fix this and you also need to fix your dependency  on IE. I hate having an app on my PC that Microsoft no longer updates for security.
