Hmmn. Having played a bit with the Portable Apps version I think unless
someone says the all users way is possible with newer versions of gnc
I'd go for the per user way which I can confirm works.

Also, I should have specified:
"This is where the standard reports are located in a flatpak
installation *for all users*."

It's exactly because of the text you quote below that I chose the

This is where the standard reports are located in a flatpak
installation.
This is the report I am trying to use;
https://github.com/apowell656/gnucash-financial-radar/blob/main/financial-radar-5.15.scm
and it does include
define-module
define report-name
and
define report-guid
statements
Am I missing something?
Thanks for your help!

I think you're using the wrong directory, double check this bit:
===
While not recommended you can also copy the report to the installed
report directory. Make sure you have included a module definition as
shown above. All*.scmfiles from
thegnucash/scm/gnucash/report/standard-reports/directory will be loaded
automatically. This applies/only/to thestandard-reports/sub-directory,
not to any of the other directories with reports. Hence, the easiest
way
to have your report available to gnucash is to copy your *.scm file
into
that directory.
===
>From what you have said I don't think you have a standard-reports
sub dir and you still have to make a module definition anyway.

Many thanks for your tips.
1. I did have a copy under
~/.var/app/org.gnucash.GnuCash/data/gnucash/
but deleting it didn't change anything
2. I replaced the original guid in the SCM file (which contained
hyphens) with one generated byhttps://www.guidgenerator.com/ as
recommended here;
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Custom_Reports#Setup_a_prototype_report
however, the behavior remained the same: GC fails to start unless I
remove the new report from:
/var/lib/flatpak/app/org.gnucash.GnuCash/current/active/files/share/gui
le/site/2.2/gnucash/reports/standard/
P.S. this would happen if you had the reports in both a user dir and
the
system wide one

Have you ended up with a duplicate report guid?
see

Your report must have a globally unique identifier (guid). GnuCash
will fail to start if multiple reports have the same unique id.

I tried copying a custom .scm file (the recently announced
financial-

/var/lib/flatpak/app/org.gnucash.GnuCash/current/active/files/share/gui
le/site/2.2/gnucash/reports/standard/
However, this prevents GnuCash from starting.
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Custom_Reports#Load_the_report_from_a_user_account
says that I need to declare the report in config.user or
config_user.scm.
However, I don't want to have to do that for every user.
How can I declare the report for all users of the flatpak
installation?
