I did a quick test and built a formula-URL button with this format and it launches my pre-built report with custom-report-column properties set.

URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=q&qid=6&dlta=mog~&ridlist=61893&qskip=0&navBack=true"

    Try a version of this with say 20 fields, or less and see if it works.  I think that QuickBase Support would tell you that 120 fields in a single report is simply too many.

    Does the Grid Edit feature work without trying to customize your field headings?

    If you have more than 20 fields that you are using for grid edit entry, I'd say you are doing something wrong with your data structure or entry method.  Just my 2 cents
