Re: [GNC] Hidden accounts selection is erased when modifying a saved report

Won't it be possible to update the accounts selector to identify if it's a case of a saved report configuration, and only in this case, to select accounts according to the list of account GUIDs? On Thu, Dec 21, 2023 at 5:50 AM john wrote: > It's a little more complicated than that. > > When you

Re: [GNC] Hidden accounts selection is erased when modifying a saved report

It's a little more complicated than that. When you save a report configuration the accounts are saved as a list of account GUIDs. The new-for-5.x options system includes an accounts selector on all options dialogs and its default display doesn't include hidden accounts because they're hidden.

Re: [GNC] Hidden accounts selection is erased when modifying a saved report

What do you mean by 'created and saved'? Saving a report does not save its options as new defaults, just the rendering of the report with those options. A Saved Report Configuration is what you are looking for. If *that* is not really saving your options, then you found a bug. Note, to run

When I create a report that includes hidden accounts, and later open it and modify something in the report options, the selection of the hidden accounts is erased. It may sound like an edge scenario but it happens a lot. For example I have a net worth report that shows the net worth from a time

If they are accounts that no longer have any value (monetarily I mean) but when you look at the account it says it has a value then your accounts are in error. Add a transaction to bring the value to zero. Colin On Fri, 10 Aug 2018 at 14:43, Bridgit Griffin wrote: > It's a nice way to handle
