Thanks @John Ralls that wiki page was what prompted this thread, hoping to tweak report without going through the full report development process.
> just save the report configuration The issue is Save Report Configuration saves those reports in a different part of the menu to the default reports. I specifically wanted to change the default report rather than having to check in the Saved Report Configurations before selecting a default report. (A Linux shadow [report] file would work.) Looking through C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash\saved-reports-2.8 (might have been another file) seems easy enough to understand. *Should all the required accounts and sub-accounts be specifically selected?* Selecting all accounts (including sub-accounts) includes the account ids in the report so I expect any new accounts would not appear on the report. @Michael or Penny Novack Re experience - commercial programming for a period with procedural languages, system support, member of numerous system development teams, user rep, testing.

Regardless, once I get to the detail I can normally understand what is going on. > Are you being required to choose that display option? > How about asking here how people use that display option? No, it's the default. I asked if people thought it was a bug. When I realised the reports in the guide were like other accounting packages that was enough confirmation of a bug for me so I reported it. (Also explains why it is difficult to do the exercises in the guide.) _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
