Name of the mochawesome report is not saving as expected (even though 'reportFilename' in cypress.json is changed)

i am using mochawesome for my cypress tests.

This is my cypress.json file

{
  "viewportWidth": 1440,
  "viewportHeight": 800,
  "defaultCommandTimeout": 8000,
  "reporter": "mochawesome",
  "reporterOptions": {
      "reportDir": "cypress/reports/mochawesome-report",
      "reportFilename": "sample",
      "overwrite": false,
      "html": true,
      "json": true  
   },
  "env": {
    "environment": "Stagging"
  },
  "screenshotsFolder": "cypress/reports/mochawesome-report/assets",
}

when I ran my tests, the reports are generated with name 'sample.html' which is expected as I have defined my report title as sample in cypress.json file.

now I wanted to have a unique name for each report generated based on the test suite name.

so I have used the cypress event 'test:before:run' and set the reportFilename in cypress.json to the test suite name before the execution of each test, the sample code is down below

Cypress.on("test:before:run", (test, runnable) => {
    console.log(Cypress.config("reporterOptions").reportFilename);
    const suiteTitle = runnable.parent.title;
    Cypress.config({
        "reporterOptions":{
            "reportFilename": suiteTitle
        }
    });
    const reportFileName = Cypress.config("reporterOptions").reportFilename;
    console.log(reportFileName);
});

I see the reportFilename is successfully changed to Tests suite name in configuration file

But my report is still saved as 'sample.html' image

Why my report is still saving as sample.html , instead of my test suite name?

can you someone help me to resolve this?
