Circling back to this, I've tried this dialog and I still don't have a
cell in the Budget tab that I can enter a value except for the parent of
the subaccounts which is not useful for me. The list of subaccounts
does change when I check or uncheck Show unsued accounts or Show zero
total accounts, but in no case does a cell appear in the second column
from the right.
I deleted the prior budget attempts and started fresh. I am using 3.8
on Debian.
I am only interested in an expense budget so I only have the Expense
Account Type checked in the Filter Budget dialog. In the Other tab, of
the three only Show hidden accounts is not checked.
My expense tree looks like this:
Expenses
Dual Parish
sub accounts...
Home
sub accounts...
Expenses, Dual Parish, and Home are marked as Placeholder accounts. No
matter whether any or all of these are Placeholders or not, there is
only a cell to enter a budget amount in Dual Parish and Home. No
accounts below either provide a cell for entering a budgeted amount.
Curiously, beyond this, when I close and reopen the budget I get all of
the top level accounts.
